MAIN SET

28 min · Race-specific swimming

Main setSetDescriptionFocus

Main-set work—2 rounds of 4 x 1 length at coach-reviewed current event rhythm with 45–60 seconds rest, plus 4 easy lengths or 3 minutes recovery. Without valid current paces, use controlled moderate rhythm.—

Coach observation and race skill

8 min · Record count/rate and technical cue. This is not a lactate-tolerance or until-failure set.

Cool down

6 min · 4–8 easy lengths within the time cap, or a shorter relaxed swim; finish comfortable.

Learning and preparation

4 min · State a current event rhythm and one rate/count cue; no unverified goal-time prescription.

STF400 yd

Start, turn and finish skills.

STFSetDescriptionFocus

A: Starts and Turns200 yd8 × 25. From a push, begin more than 10 yards from the turn wall. Practice the approach, legal turn, streamline, breakout and two surface strokes; complete the assigned 25 yards easily. Freestyle turn plus 200 IM order turns: FR/FR, FL/FL, FL/BA, BA/BA, BA/BR, BR/BR, BR/FR, FR/FR. Count underwater kicks (or the legal breaststroke pullout sequence) and surface strokes over the same measured segment. Coach adapts positioning and recovery to ability. Natural breathing; no maximum underwater-distance or breath-holding challenges.Approach → turn → breakout → two strokes; record underwater and surface counts.

B: Turns and Finishes200 yd8 × 25. From a push, begin more than 10 yards from the turn/finish wall. 2 × FR finishes, 2 × BA finishes, 2 × BR finishes, 2 × FL finishes. Count underwater and surface strokes over consistent measured segments; finish legally with accurate wall timing. For breaststroke count its legal pullout sequence separately from surface strokes. Complete 25 yd each, with recovery to preserve technique.Consistent underwater/surface counts and legal finish timing.

Plan context

Detailed first four weeks

Current event rhythm in short pieces. Current event rhythm in short pieces. Coach selects the suitable version, with rest and technique first.

Core duration and readiness

Planned core: 90 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.
