From the archives

This clip was shot on November 28, 2015.  12x100 Kick-Swim {4 on 1:40, 4 on 1:35, rest 30, 4 on 1:30).  Cole was 1:00 three times, then a 58.7 on the end.  This clip is the final 100:  100s Kick-Swim on Nov 28, 2015

This is the training of a few future Junior National Finalists, in my view of what can happen, given their continued training progress over the next 18 months.

The next 18 months, for many of the athletes on T2 Aquatics, will determine the athlete's trajectory for the rest of the their career.  That's not to say that an athlete can't flip a switch and change during their first two years in college, because certainly that happens, but if you want to take the percentages, get after the biggest time drops you can over the 9th-10th-11th-and12th grade years.

The big fat high-level times we see in competition come from big fat training sets that you remember weeks, months, and years later. If you can remember a set 12 months after doing it, it was probably either really good or really bad.  The more great sets your can get to stick in your mind, the more capable you will be physically and the more confident you will be mentally.

Let's have a great week of training!
