If you call it “cool down”…I don’t trust you

I have a confession. I’m terrible with a stop watch.

Let’s collectively ban the phrase “flush out the lactic acid”.

Some people in the swimming community argue for a “reverence for the swim training methods of history”. Isn’t that just a massive case of belief perseverance bias??? Just because a finding contradicts your assumptions doesn’t mean it’s wrong!

Ultra Short Race Pace training is incredible bc it has built-in protection against overtraining. It is a indeed a derivative of High-Intensity Interval Training which is v taxing BUT with the failure protocol you prevent getting ground into dust and becoming sad.

I’m reading an ASCA article from 2008 and the author just referred to “high quality or more intense practice methods” as anaerobic training. Bruh that’s just straight up FALSE. Physiologic adaptations occur at the cellular level so 60x25 All Out with a 1:4 W2R ratio is aerobic!!

Omg the author of this article on swim training just stated “I doubt it because I tried it about 25 years ago with disastrous results” 🚩🚩🚩🚩. Personal anecdote is not evidence!! If you talk about research then you also have to consider the implementation of the training 😫😫

IM training confuses me. Growing up all we did was swim lots of 200IMs or 100 IM. That’s boring and I question the efficacy of it. So are aerobic adaptations unique to each stroke? If so wouldn’t it be better to train separately and have “rehearsal” training sessions?

Bret Weinstein Amazing to watch people who say they care so much about women's sports just ignore the best women in the sport in the service of hyperbole.

Making a new swimmer enrollment packet is probably harder than every essay I had to write in college.
