SwimSwam took a visit to Baton Rouge, where the LSU tigers are in full swing of their winter training. This Monday PM practice was focusing on relay takeovers as well as a little bit of anaerobic endurance. The men and women would switch from relay exchanges to speed work, using a shower loofah (instead of a typical swim parachute) for resistance. Head coach Rick Bishop likes the loofah as opposed to a parachute because you can swim at top speed with resistance without it hindering technique.

That last relay start was CLOSE
Sprinters… going to “practice” need their loofah, rubber ducky, bubble bath, aromatherapy candles….
Can’t do enough relay starts
Dude my team uses loofahs but I thought no one else would ever subject themselves to that torture!
Wait till you hear about parachutes
Chutes and drag sox and loofahs and brick board…GO!
