This morning I swam at Layton Surf N' Swim. I got in at 0520 and started my ladder set before meeting with Ken and Denise Ashby from my ward. They wanted a quick lesson on how to swim better. Started with some kicking to help them establish a good body position in the water. Worked on that for a while, then had them try front crawl, but that was too big of a step and gave them more pointers on how to stay relaxed in the water and stay in a streamlined position. I encouraged them to continue practicing the drills I gave them and to make an effort to swim at least once a week in order to continue getting used to the water.
Then I continued with my ladder set:
100 free easy
200 IM
300 - 4 x 75's free no rest
400 kick with fins
500 pull
600 - 200 free, 2 x 200 IMs :5 rest
700 - 2 x (250 free + 100 stroke) no rest
800 - 4 x 200's odd IM, even free :5 rest
900 - 9 x 100's free on 1:20
1000 pull
900 - 3 x 300's on 4:30
800 - 4 x 200's odd IM, even free no rest
700 - 2 x (250 free + 100 stroke) no rest
600 - 3 x 200's free on 2:50
500 pull
400 kick with fins
300 - 4 x 75's free on 1:00
200 IM
100 free easy
10,000 yards total in 3:00 (Not counting the time spent with the Ashby's)
5th 10K for the month - felt great. Didn't have any soreness or weakness. Just kept it going. Next time, I'll get creative. Went with the traditional ladder cause it takes no special brain power to get through it.
