One Team Two Coaches Two Workouts


On our North Bay Aquatics Senior training group we have the luxury of 2 coaches – Ken and Don. Below are 2 workouts, first from Ken and then from Don, that we did this week. We are training very well and doing a lot of meaningful, purpose driven swimming. Our team is responding well especially considering this is the 3rd week of intense work (the 1st two weeks we did doubles – triples if you count the weight room). Now school is back in session so our total volume is down but the effort and intensity remain very high. This will be a breakthrough block for many of our swimmers.
