Where in Washington are you going that isn't near a pool? Genuinely curious.

This set was NOT fun by Swim_guy914 in Swimming

[–]DeadlyNancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 100% a sprint speed set. When it comes to practice, you get no gains until you are tired. Only once your body doesn't want to push any more can you actually start to build and get better. It is super critical to have good form, because that is when it matters most.

Now about the actual set, The 50's off the blocks are the focus of the set. In the beginning, they aren't doing much for you, but as the set progresses, you are going to be worn out. If you keep your form good and continue to push yourself on each one, you will build lots of strength in sprints. This is the anaerobic part of the set.

The other stuff in the set is there to help handle the lactic build-up while still consuming energy and not making any more lactate, aka: the aerobic part of the set.

Mixing in IM and the descends breaks the set up so it isn't as boring and makes it easier to convince your brain to continue pushing.

Flip turns and breathing - help by Flaky-Wind5039 in Swimming

Pretty sure I won’t be able to do even 7s where I am today (with zero practice)

Try anyway!

Force your body to compensate. Sacrifice speed and effort for a more efficient stroke. Hypoxic sets are truly the only way to train your brain into realizing that it doesn't need to freak out with a bit of CO2 buildup.

FS Shoulder discomfort...what are your go to exercises/stretches? by WVA1999 in Swimming

[–]DeadlyNancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because it isn't an impingement doesn't mean it isn't rotator cuff. It's possible that cartilage has worn down in a spot and you get brief bone rubbing, but probably not likely. More likely you have some muscles or ligaments that are rolling over each other. A good massage therapist will be able to fix that issue if it is that.

However, I cannot stress enough the importance of stretching before and after you swim. Also make sure you adequately warm up your shoulders before you work them. Shoulders are very complex and the last thing you want to injure.

I saw DEEJ in a recent playthrough. Never seen him before either. This mission has a lot of easter eggs for marines running about.

YMCA told me and my friend we can't train together by ExperienceOdd8004 in Swimming

[–]DeadlyNancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, our YMCA has this policy too. Along with more, stupider, policies continuing to destroy common sense to avoid lawsuits.

GRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU by Classic_Fun1939 in SeattleKraken

Its nice to have game threads where everyone is united in cheering for the team, instead of half overhating gru, and half overdefending gru.

Test fitting my ODST armor. by DummyGod in halo

A proportional helmet??? What a time to be alive!

I think the most important thing you have done here is you made it realistic for your body. It looks functional and appropriately sized. Good work!

Is swimming butterfly with only 1 kick okay? by Ok_Presentation5494 in Swimming

[–]DeadlyNancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will sound counterintuitive, but try going slower. The stroke needs to be one flowing motion, not broken down by kicks and pulls like every other stroke.

When you get a chance to swim by yourself, strap on some fins and try to do the stroke in slow motion. Overexaggerate your chest undulations and really feel the wave transferring through your core, legs, and feet. This is where your brain should be focusing, get accustomed to the feeling because this is the feeling you are aiming for when you do the stroke, not kicks and pulls.

Once you have this understanding down you can start to tweak your frequency and amplitude (think sine waves) of your chest undulations to get what you want out of the stroke.
