Tuesday, 30/09-7.30pm

Martin and I decided to start shaking things up in the 7.30pm group: I took the "extreme" lanes (the fastest and the slowest) and Martin took the intermediate swimmers (we'll switch around on Thursday, just to keep them wondering what is going to happen next ;-)). The fast lane lived up to the expectations, featuring Chris (the guy visiting from Toronto), Fiona, Tara, and Sia in flippers. They swam:
600 reverse IM (4x(50 swim + 50 kick + 50 pull))
4x100 kick on 2'10'', 1 free, 1 best (Tara LOVED this)
4x(5x50 PROGRESSIVE 1 to 5) #1 and #3 freestyle on 50'', #2 and #4 not-free, on 1' Good effort here
100 free nice and easy
200 kick backstroke with fins, nice and easy
2x(200 PACE with 30'' rest, 100 FAST with 30'' rest, 100 sprint with 2' rest). #1 = IM, #2=free
200 easy

The slowest lane had Leslie, Louise, and Rafael. They swam lots of free and backstroke correction. It is time for Leslie and Louise to make the jump to a fastest lane... we'll see how it happens. Rafael still has serious improvement to do with his stroke (mainly with the breathing part) but he's showing great improvement. Looking forward to having him swimming straight in the water, as he is strong and could potentially be fast.
