Swim Practice this Morning

July 2, 2012 by Mom on the Make Leave a Comment

Dolphins Skimming Water Surface

Dolphins Skimming Water Surface

During workout today, there was a lot of talk about replicating the strokes we are all seeing at the Olympic Trials.  The swimmers seem to skim the top of the water like a dolphin skimming along the surface.

We were all trying to achieve this effect as well.  🙂

Some day, some way, I’m going to swim with the dolphins.  I know there is a hotel on the big island of Hawaii that has a dolphin pool where you can spend time with the dolphins, but I want to swim with them in the ocean in their natural habitat.

Wondering if there is some place in the world that provides that opportunity for us??

I will research and get back to all of you interested parties.

Trying to swim like the Dolphins in Workout

I really enjoyed our swim practice this morning due to the variety infused into each set.

After practice, I decided that I should record this one down to use if I ever go to the pool by myself and need a workout.  As I have mentioned before, that scenario most likely won’t happen, as I need a coach and fellow swimmers to push me in order to get a really good workout.  By myself, I might do a 500, and then decide its time for a decaf mocha at Starbucks.  But, with the synergy of the other swimmers, I have no problem completing a 3000 and getting my heart rate up, and feeling energized afterwards.

Here’s the workout:

400 Free

200 Reverse IM

100 Free

2 x {4×50 (kick, kick/drill, drill/swim, swim}

3 x {2×75 Free, 6×25 kick, 200 pull}

200 warm down

Today’s workout was just shy of our normal 3000 yards.  I really enjoyed the use of different equipment, drills, and IM work.

The variety really made the workout go fast.

Today’s off to a good start with my swimming endorphin rush….
