After the US Open in early December, SwimSwam stuck around Austin, Texas, and filmed a couple of workouts on UT’s campus. One was with the Texas women, who were in finals week and had just come off their mid-season invite and Thanksgiving break.
On this Wednesday morning, head coach Carol Capitani and Associate Mitch Dalton were taking the women through a classic kick/drill/swim set, specifically looking for some fast efforts on the ‘swim’ portions. Watch as several national team members and NCAA All-Americans (Erin Gemmell, Campbell Stoll, Lillie Nesty, Kate Hurst) get to work on this sunny morning in Austin.
Main Set:
3x
- 100 Kick @ 2:30
- 100 Drill @ 2:30
- 100 Swim, Desc 1-3 @ 2:30
8x
- 50 Kick @ 1:30
- 50 Drill @ 1:30
- 50 FAST @ 1:30
Not overly difficult intervals🫠
If you’re pushing the fasts, you’ll get plenty tired….
Finally a set with intervals I can make!
Also, love the coach stopwatch fingers! I heard a few 24.2s called out – for reference, Torri Huske split 21.7 + 24.3 = 46.01 at NCAAs.
The Todd Desorbo School of Watch Using Excellence, to create swimmers positive feelings.
Was curious as to how Texas women were doing practices
Also, Bob talking to French media in the back
Thanks Coleman, missed that when were in Austin a couple of years back!
