USE THIS
WORKOUT TO FIX YOUR IM!
THIS
week's workout approaches each part of the individual Medley, component
by component. In the Individual Medley, it is important for the athlete
to have Butterfly and Backstroke speed, and Breaststroke and Freestyle
endurance. Consequently,
Freestyle must be practiced more fatigued than Butterfly. The workout
begins by developing Butterfly and Backstroke speed, then challenges
Breaststroke and Freestyle fitness. The Warm-Down Set accommodates the
athlete's physiological needs.

While
the commitment required of today's world-class competitor certainly
deserves all of the support that is currently provided, there is a
potential down side to all of these benefits. We must guard against the
inclination to become overly dependent upon this support for performance
results.
