Warm up:

600 choice

Drill set:

1×300 swim, every 3rd length backstroke (Coach Chris’s favorite Freestyle drill—ask him why!)

4×50 drill

Odds—single arm ddrill

Even—rhythm drill

Focus on core engagement and balanced body rotation

4×25 pitch drill

First third swimming up hill, middle third swimming in what you think is the right body position, last third pressing the T and swimming downhill

(600/1200)

 

Main set:

3×100, descend 1-3

#2 on cruise+5 sec

#3 on cruise+10 sec

1×400 on cruise+30 sec, even pace

 

3×100 on cruise+5 sec, descend 1-3

3×100, descend 1-3

No break between the 100s and the 400 in each round.  And the 3x100s will get harder as the set goes on.  Extra credit if you can descend the 400s 1-3.
