We woke up on day eight feeling a little tired, but also feeling energized. Knowing that this was the last day of the camp, we all wanted to go for broke, work hard, and enjoy our time together as a team. Starting with our final swim, we rolled out of the condo long before the [...]
It’s always interesting to see how the excitement of a great workout and the team dynamic can create a false sense of invincibility. Day seven would prove to be an eye opening day for us. We began at the pool again with a 4500 yard set that included another 1000 TTT. Danielle and Louis raced [...]
Six days into our camp began with a 4500 yard swim featuring a blistering set of 16×100’s at race pace efforts and very little rest. This was Lou’s favorite workout for the week, and for good reason.

Day 2 in Arizona found us up early before the sunrise for a solid 4800 yards.

Here’s the whole swim workout: Warm-up: 400 swim + 100 kick 400 drill (single arm sequence as 50drill/50swim) [...]

The purpose [...]
