    The beauty of a 25 yard pool

    I’m Canadian, eh! Which means my pools are 25 meters. Not 22.86 meters. I mean who else in the world – other than you crazy Americans – makes something 22.86 units long. Swimming in the shorty pool does however make you feel like a rock star. I can swim 1:20’s no problem. I knew there was something up when I was still swimming 1:25s by the end of the set. Smile.

    Here’s the pre-race workout from Coach Tracey:
    Warm Up:
    200 choice
    2 x (100 kk, 100 as 25 drill/75 swim, 2 x 50 stroke count descend 2nd 50 by 2 strokes)
    Main:
    6 x (100 fast on 2:00 then 50 very easy on 1:00)
    Cool Down:
    100 non free choice
    100 kk
    100 pull
    2000m total*
    *crazy conversion factor required
