Long Course Season begins April 5th. Some tips……

Posted December 10th 2009 | By Admin1 | Filed Under Uncategorized

We will begin our long course training sometime in late June.  A long course pool is 50 Meters long (the Hauppauge pool is 25 yards).  So what does that mean to you – a 50 yard freestyle involves 1 turn.  A 50 meter freestyle involves no turns and is about 15% longer (and therfore your times will not be the same due to the increase in distance).  Don’t rely on conversion tools-every swimmers adapts slightly differently to a long course pool.  After age groups, we swim long course meets for the summer.  Some things to keep in mind:
1. Charge the walls. By far the most important single factor is the manner in which the turns are executed. Turns can (and usually do) afford an opportunity to get a little rest. If turns are done with full effort, short course training (in a short course pool) will be equally or more taxing than long course training.I tell my swimmers to “charge the walls.” This means to pick up speed going into each turn, flip as hard and as fast as possible, and kick hard off the walls. Streamline well on the push-off, but don’t overextend the glide. This is good advice for swimmers who train in pools of any length for any type of competition.

2. Extend repeat distance. Since most long course events are ten percent longer, repeats will be adjusted to 125 yards in place of 100’s and 225 yards in place of 200’s. This is not one of the techniques used extensively because all of our workout pace charts are based on 100 yard increments.

3. Note: Adjustment of backstroke flags. Placement of backstroke flags is very important to backstroke and individual medley swimmers. Flags in a long course pool are extended to 5 meters (instead of 5 yards) from the wall during the long course season. When participating in away meets, it is the responsibility of the coach to measure the flag distance prior to warmups and to tell the swimmers where the flags are actually set.   Practice this during warmup at away meets.

4. Increase kicking. Many top short course swimmers who don’t do well in long course often complain that their legs give out. Therefore, plan on doing more and harder kicking.

5. Train harder. Recognize that long course competition can be more taxing and commit yourself to a more strenuous all-around program. Some time and yardage may be added to your workout sessions. There will be a decrease in your amount of rest between repeats. Do extra kicking and more eight-second sprints.
