I was super tired after yesterday's effort on the treadmill ... Wasn't sure I could do a meaningful swim today. But the legs held up reasonably well. I went straight to the pool from brunch with no workout in mind. I think I need to consult my old HIT workouts and arm myself with some decent sets to do, since I'm not laser focused on sprinting right now.

    Hello, These look like really good workouts. If you have a moment, I'd appreciate if you could answer a couple of questions. Can you tell me what are "shooters" (in the context of swimming not happy hour, lol). And the 100 scull - are you doing any kind of kick, for example some light dolphin kicking to add a bit of rhythm to the sculling, or is it pure sculling without kick? Thanks!

    Hi Shera.

    A "shooter" is a 25 all underwater streamline dolphin kicking.

    When I scull, I use small paddles and do not kick at all. You're trying to get a feel for the catch.

    Thanks! I will give the shooters a try!
