I'm racing:

400 IM 6th Event,
50 FL

Sat Apr 30, 2011

50 Br
Maybe 200 Freestyle Relay

Sun May 1, 2011
500 Fr,
Maybe 200 Medley Relay
200 IM


Now is a great time to ask:

"What do I need to do to swim faster?"

Get:
1) faster in the pool,
2) stronger in the weight room,
3) lighter on the scale, &
4) thinner in the mirror.

It's time to shift training to speed, racing, & strength. Then add a layer of rest near the meet. this close to meets dates can sneak up on you so to figure out your training plan, I recommend you pull out or create a calendar and ask:
How should I train a day before the meet?
2 days? 3 days? & plan each day till you get to tomorrow.
