Coach Notes
The swim coach was asked to define any shorthand he or she used in this workout. Their notes should provide some additional context to this swimming workout.
8paddles refer to the Finis figure 8 paddles. The warm up set consists of doing a 100 FR with the Finis paddles on both hands, then 2 x 100 swimming with both arms but with those paddles on only one of the arms (alternate), the final 100 in the round is without paddles on either hand. Repeat for 20:00
