Hello,
So another question. I started Master's swim team but had to quit due to schedule conflicts and feeling as though I wasn't improving and was dragging people down in my lane. I want to get better but I don't feel like I am improving at all. I have a pool I am going to and working out 5 days a week to improve. However, I am just picking random workouts from USM websites.
Does anyone have a good training schedule rather than a random workout? IM's, Drills, etc?
Thank You,
Jen :)

I like to think of that country song, "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was." I can't maintain a workout like I used to, not even close. As we get older, we need to focus on quality and not quantity. I don't get caught up on that I can no longer maintain 30x50 LCM on 1:15 all butterfly and hold 26 highs and 27 lows, I will NEVER be able to do that again.
We need to know your main events, your goals, etc. to really give you help. I am a firm believer in training smarter, not harder. We all know that as we get older, our bodies can't take the abuse they once could. What are your strengths, weaknesses, goals, etc.? Without knowing these things, all I can say is focus on DPS(naturally focuses on underwater mechanics), then handspeed and LEGS.
