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 is the second big day for them (1:45 min) out of three. We often can only go 1hr a day. Working on some aerobic/anaerobic structures with reinforcing their knowledge and application of gears/colors.
