Subject: RE: 50 yd swim sprint? I`m not sure exactly what your swim workouts entail, but if you are not doing it already, I would reccomend doing a short sprint set each workout. This can be as short as 4x25, or 4x50 yards/meters (try for little rest ). I think this will help not only your "splash and dash", but if you remember to keep good form it will also result in faster times at the longer distances. It will also give you that extra push you will need the next time you plan on passing people in a crowded pool or going out fast at the start of a tri.
-also many people breathe alot less when doing a sprint 50. I usually breathe bilateraly, but during a race, I won`t breathe more than 4 times during the fifty. Again, this is based on your ability as a swimmer and what you are comfortable with. If you are going to change anything, I reccomend trying it out a few times during your workout beforehand.
Good Luck! Edited by vonholt 2005-03-29 9:25 PM
