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.
1d1u = one down, one up breathing pattern.
Surf & Turf = one surf stroke (no recovery), then one normal stroke of FL.
#5 Rule = 5 under water dolphin kicks, no breathing first 5 strokes, breath every 5 strokes.
