Coach Notes

The swim coach was asked to define any shorthand he or she used in this workout. Their notes should provide some additional context to this swimming workout.

This here is a little different. With my athletes having to go home for the break and pool availability limited and different for everyone, I have created an outline for winter workouts for the next few weeks. The idea is for the swimmers who can only get to a pool a few times a week they have something a little more comprehensive. The rest will be able to swim with their clubs at home.
