Masters Swim Class (not a 101 class any more:)
Posted by Cheeseball under: Swim.
So here I am. I became a member of a masters swim club. I’m paying my monthly fee now, so there’s no choice but to go. I was a little nervous about going to this class because it wasn’t a 101 class any more, but I did alright. This one was called, “mid distance” class. Heck, what happens in the long distance practice. My right foot gave up towards the end today, haha. I’d say I had a pretty good workout:)
Today’s menu:
1) 2 x 50 stroke check by coach to see my level
2) 2 x 50 warm up
Coach told me to spread my thumb apart from the other fingers and feel the water.
3) 2 x 50 kick
Apparently, my kicks aren’t great - sinking a bit. Coach told me I could use fins. (actually most people in the class were using fins) He also told me that I was probably better at breaststroke kicks - so that’s what I did for the second 50, and he was happy with that one. He called it, “natural” …how did he know?! Breaststroke used to be my fav.
4) 2 x 25 fast kick
Arrrg… more kicks… faster.
5) 3 x 50 on :50
I think it was 3×50 on :50, but can’t remember for sure. I didn’t have much resting time at all in between the intervals. That, I remember.
6) 2 sets of the following:
3 x 100 on 2:00
2 x 75 on 1:30
2 x 50 on 1:00
2 x 25 on :30
then 1 set of:
1 x 100 on 2:00 - my right foot and calf cramped up here. I was done for the day.
2 x 75 on 1:30
2 x 50 on 1:00
2 x 25 on :301 x 50 easy breast stroke while other people were finishing up.
I’m watching the Olympics opening ceremony as I’m posting this right now. Wow… this is going to be a fun couple of weeks!!
