Coach adapts work and rest to current readiness. Stop for pain or loss of technique.
Times are core guidance.
Swim
WARM UP
Shared freestyle progression for existing published swims October 12–November 8. The seven distances total 500 yd when completed. Coach adjusts repetitions, rest and drill support to ability and readiness; use shorter versions as needed. Completion of all 500 yd is not compulsory for a swimmer who is not ready.
Technique and skill
10 min · 4 x 2 lengths easy with one technical cue, 30 seconds rest.
MAIN SET
21 min · Race-specific swimming
Coach observation and race skill
6 min · Write a short process-based event routine and one fueling/recovery habit. Formal tests wait until baseline review.
Cool down
4 min · 4–8 easy lengths within the time cap, or a shorter relaxed swim; finish comfortable.
Learning and preparation
4 min · Review one process goal, one recovery habit and the next coach-approved step.
Dryland
Plan context
Detailed first four weeks
Easy review and race routine. Easy review and race routine. Light skill review and preparation; adjust around attended meets.
Core duration and readiness
Planned core: 66 minutes. Proposed core, including dryland and discussion; not a required two-hour workout or attendance minimum. Time caps override repeat counts. Use recent individual training and technique as the ceiling. The group label and sex do not establish fitness, maturation, strength readiness or a need to match SR workload.
Pool course and volume
Current training pool: 25-yard pool (SCY); 1 length = 25 yd. No numeric total training volume is assigned. This facility configuration does not establish the course of pace references or meet results.

Curriculum focus only
These are opportunities to practise curriculum skills. Calendar participation does not assign an athlete, establish an ADM level, record an assessment or award mastery. Individual evidence is recorded separately by the coach.
