Last Week:

The first few days of last week were spent getting in some middle distance/sprint sets and some IM work. Then the swimmers transitioned into two days (Wednesday and Thursday) of station work with a mixture of kicking and sprint from the blocks. They also worked on dives, turns, and stroke technique throughout the week in preparation for the meet they had on Saturday against the Orcas. On Friday the swimmers had a split workout of Baseball and of a small set. In the Baseball game of last week, the swimmers were able to choose their own stroke that they felt they wanted to work on before the meet.
