Friday – maintain speed and use that wall
It is important for any set that we use with swimmers, we give them a focus. Too many things to concentrate on and none of them end up being done correctly. Our Friday swim set demands that swimmers really work on their push-off from the wall making sure they generate maximum power, streamline appropriately and kick hard to maintain speed into their stroke.
