Main Group: Aerobic Oxygen Delivery Session
Bring your fins for this Saturday’s session!
At this point in the season, the focus is on stroke technique. Get them all dialed in now and they will be second nature when we start adding speed and intensity in the winter. Swim easy enough to get it right and make every stroke count. Make adjustments! If doing weights, keep the weight low and reps high (like 30).
Cathy Bass Words of Wisdom: Recommendation for this phase of the season is that we get at least 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise each day. This is the only phase of our season where cross training is of benefit. So try to get in some biking, running, eliptical, etc … on the off days.
