I can’t be the only one that despises the LSU pool
It feels outdated, dreary, and depressing
what does “platinum” mean in this context.. Think I know the other color zones…
@austinpoolboy Platinum is top end speed, like what you can hold for 5-6 seconds (10-15 meters)
Some really great workouts here, definitely going to be using with the college team!!
What’s up with Jade Hannah? Is she injured?
I’ll ask, but my guess is that she still hasn’t cleared NCAA waivers.
If they got her…this LSU women’s team suddenly looks spicy.
She’s already competed in 3 meets for LSU in the fall
Hmmm good call.
Pretty sure I saw her in a sling at some point on her IG. Shoulder surgery maybe?
This was awesome. I want to go back in time and do these workouts when I was college.
Rick Bishop, not Rick Demott
I was just about to say that
That pool looks and feels depressing. Swimming in a basement.
Kinda like UNC
