COACH’S TIPS GET UP TO RACE PACE

-

Use fins

Do short efforts (so anything up to 100m) with fins on so you can get used to swimming quickly. Using this swim aid also helps you to focus on your arm turnover.

Use a tempo trainer

Do race-paced efforts with a tempo trainer, set to bleep on the end of the lengths, start with shorter reps and build up to swimming closer and closer towards race distance.

Sprint it

Do efforts where you sprint the first length and then settle down to ‘race pace’ after that – use a strong push-off off the wall to help generate the extra speed.
