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 a workout designed to help our senior group clean up underwaters and breakout while continuing to carry speed. Overspeed work comes in at the end to provide a test to see if the gear switching and underwater speed transitions into overall speed.
