Psychology tells us that people are more motivated if they have
the chance to be involved in decision making processes. I think it
is a good idea to apply this principle to a certain degree to our
swim practices. In this set the swimmers could choose on which
they focus in particular for a block of 3 broken 400s. They liked
it and I felt they are more motivated to really concentrate on
what they have chosen on their own compared to if I had chosen a
focus for them. ([P400]+4'' means they should swim 4 seconds
slower per 100m than their 400m race pace).
Editor's Note: The Swimming Wizard's goal is to publish at least one set, practice,
or idea EVERY DAY for all of 2016! To keep it interesting, we need your
help! Click here to help us achieve that goal by submitting one of your sets!
