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.
Annual set in which each swimmer does as many 100s as he can until he misses the goal time. We set a goal for the whole team–everyone make it through 1:00, for example–and keep records as to how far people get. Set ends when the last swimmer misses.

Head Coach, Phillips Academy
