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.
