Today’s WoW is all about the IM.  Use the 200 drills to get that stroke form perfected then really get those legs moving for the 100 kick of each stroke.  You’ll finish up with a best effort 200 IM as you put everything together.  

Focus on perfect form on your drills then FAST kicking on the 100s! Finish up with a strong and fast IM! Be sure to set your watch to Drill Mode when the workout calls for any Drill or Kick!

  1. I like the workout but the one suggestion I have is to keep the workout to one page. I typically print the workout and stick it to the side of the pool for reference. There’s lots of wasted space in how it’s formatted. And for us older folks, larger print would be nice.

    Keep up the great work.
