Reducing Stroke Count During Training Sets

Here is a video from yesterday's practice.  We did a set of 10x100 Free on (1:30) with descending strokes per 25 on each 100.  So, for example, if you start with 18, you have to go 17, 16, 15 on the next three 25s.  That set of 100s was followed by a single 100, going a little faster with the same stroke count.

We then went 10x50s, with the idea being that we would go just a bit faster, with less strokes than the final 50 of the 100s.  So, if the 100s were 18, 17, 16, 15 at 1:05 -- then the 50s had to be 15, 14 at :30.

We are going to get more efficient this month.  It's going to take diligent work and focus BEYOND what is heard on deck (in other words, let's have a mind that is focused on stroke count and its relationship to time, as much as possible during practices).
