This week I’m working with my top group of 11-12
year old kids on some over distance swims. I have two goals with this;
1- help the kids prepare for longer swims and longer sets in our Junior
group without anyone losing count or focus.
2- use the longer swims to help the kids develop a sense of pace. This
set from the other night worked well on both accounts.
