2015-2016 Competitive workouts (Alpharetta & Roswell, GA)

These are the 2015-2016 practices were written for the competitive USMS swimmers that meet at the Swim Atlanta pool in Roswell at noon. (Not all of the swimmers do this same practice.) Come join us! Contact aaron@swimatlanta.com or (770) 992-7946 See forums.usms.org/showthread.php for the 2016-2017 practices. I had originally posted these at forums.usms.org/showthread.php but I found the format I used back then hard for me to reference as I go back now to look up some different sets. Also, the practices for the SCY season are incomplete because I didn't record every practice at that time, but after April all of the practices are recorded here. There was a taper for a SCY meet Apr 9-10 and a LCM taper for Jul 22-24. The general philosophy is mixed training of energy systems with usually one USRPT-inspired set each week. These practices are intended to be geared for performance in 50s, 100s, and 200s; they may or may not lend themselves to decent 400/500s, 800/1000s, or 1500/1650s. Some examples of common acronyms that will be used: KDS: Kick drill swim 300 IM KDS: 4 times through in IM order (25 kick, 25 drill, 25 swim) 1000 SKIPS: 200 Swim, 200 Kick, 200 IM, 200 Pull, 200 Swim 1000 SKIDS: 200 Swim, 200 Kick, 200 IM, 200 Drill, 200 Swim IMO by round: The stroke for first round of a set should be fly, second round should be back, etc RIM or RIMO: Reverse IM or Reverse IM order FRIM: IM except replace the fly with free UW: underwater BC4: Breathe every 4 CH: Choice AFAFAP: As far as fast as possible AFAP: As far as possible - These are notes on my own performance. For example, means I was holding :28.
