HI
Any coach out there who has suggestions for workouts for older masters swimmers who specialize in 1650/1500 would be greatly appreciated. Also suggestions on how to swim the race. E.G. think of it in shorter segments of build, hold, sprint etc.
Hi, I'm definitely a "55+ swimmer who specialize in 1650". Make it more like "70+ skinny - swimmer" who has swum all my life, coached etc. I would say these swim sets are great.....which ever you do, BUT make the warm up as varied as can be. That means with older swimmers, you need to mix in free/***/back/kicks/pulling until you reach 900 to 1000, before you begin 400+freestyle, or the shoulders and neck will give you trouble. Jacquie
