I've been working hard with my swim club and we're now in our "taper" phase. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a taper is where you decrease your workout intensity over a short period of time prior to a big meet. The goal is to get just enough rest so you'll be primed and ready to swim fast at the meet.
This past Saturday at noon, we swam at the Student Recreation Center at ASU. The Taper Lanes were the place to be, with lots of easy swimming followed by some start and turn work with just a tad of sprinting. Here are a couple of pictures from our swim. The three lanes in the foreground are the taper lanes. You can tell as we're not doing a whole lot. :)
Coach Jonny giving us some input.
Just taking it easy.
