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.
Swimming under duress. Swimmers need to feel what it is like to race to the end of an event. This practice is meant to deplete the system, then push the body through the comfort zone.
