The goal for all of the main set swims is to maintain :05/hundred better than your regular hundred interval. In my case, that would be 1:25/hundred. Although you don’t have to do this if you don’t want, my goal was to descend within each round. So, the...

This morning, someone called from Culver City’s Parks and Recs Department to let me know that the pool was closed today because they “only have one staff member coming in today.” So, my backstroke workout was canceled (boo!), but I swam with SCAQ....

No, I didn’t swim yesterday. However, I did today. It was lovely. The goal was to swim all of set 1 at 1:25 100 pace or better. I managed that for all but the 500, which was on 1:26. So, pretty good. I’m happy with it. My goal for the last 200 and 100 of...
