Thanksgiving Break Workouts

2009 November 23
by Smith Swimming and Diving

With Thanksgiving break coming up it is critical that you continue to train and stay in shape.  Over this next week you should train 4 times in including the workouts you get in tomorrow or Tuesday.  WE cannot go a week with no workouts and expect it to be productive.  Every team faces this problem and about 2/3 of the NE teams save this week as we are doing.  It is up to us to use this time as effectively as possible.  If you cannot find water, you should do weight room workouts (1 1/2 hrs in duration) including some aerobic work, some light weight-high repetition work and lots of core work.

The pool is open today 11:30-2:00 pm.There will be open swims/dives on Monday and Tuesday 4-6 pm.   There will be swimmers and divers and maybe a few recreational swimmers at these time.

For swimmers you want to get in 4500-5500 yards each water session.  You can find many workouts here on the blog, and some laminated in the pool area on the wall.

A general plan is to have two days including hard aerobic (limited rest/tight interval) work with a set of 2,000-3,000 yards and two days of workouts that include 1200 yards total of race pace swimming using the smallest interval possible to achieve race pace times.

All workout should include stroke/fell work and all workouts should include kicking.  Also continue with core and strength work as well.  if you need more specific workout ideas, let Kim or I know and we’ll send you some more ideas.

For divers, IF you can find access to  boards, clearly do 3-5 of each dive and leadups.  Do lots of approaches/take-offs and skill drills (standing dives, board touches, jumps tuck/pike/t-set).  Also continue with core and strength work as well.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Enjoy the break!

by Smith Swimming and Diving

We hosted Westfield State on Saturday, with a final score of 179-121 win. While our two teams appeared evenly matched on paper, the Bananas brought outstanding energy to the meet, which allowed us to win many tightly contested races.

We had many season and lifetime best marks en route to winning 11 of 16 events.  A few of the highlights were junior Lily Seidman (Westfield, IN) winning three individual events, taking the 100 yard butterfly in 1:03.55, 50y butterfly in 28.70, and the 200y IM in 2:22.00.  First-years Michelle Mai (Paris, France), Emma Reim (Ledyard, CT), and Ariel Orr (Richmond, VA) each won two events.  Mai won the 100y backstroke (1:06.36) and the 200y backstroke (2:22.79).   Reim won the 200y  freestyle (2:06.83) and the 500y freestyle in a lifetime best 5:34.66.  Orr won the 100y breaststroke (1:18.09) and the 200y breaststroke in a lifetime best of 2:49.08.

First-year Mackenzie Bradley (Sherwood, OR) won the 1000y freestyle in 11:36.52, while seniors Rachel Dorset (Stratford, CT ) and Christine Dzialo (Belchertown, MA) placed third and fourth respectively. Dzialo shaved 14 seconds off her season best.  Dzialo swam the rare double, coming back to place third in the 50y freestyle in 27.29.  Sophomore Alex Page (Brookline, MA) collected three season best times, finishing second in the 100y backstroke (1:08.53), second in the 200y backstroke (2:28.06), and second in the 200y IM (2:29.74).  Sophomore Jenny Prince (Ardsley, NY) placed second in the 200y breaststroke with her lifetime best of 2:51.33.  Sophomore Sophie Mettler-Grove (Syracuse, NY) posted a lifetime best of 6:18.47 in the 500y freestyle to place sixth.

Our divers, first-year Isabelle Harper (South Deerfield, MA), sophomore Karen Fryefield (Eugene, OR), junior Amanda Lineweber (Suffield, CT) and senior Genevieve Cheng (Austin, TX) also had a great meet and all posted season best marks.

Coach Kim Bierwert stated that “The energy, vitality, and spirit the team brought today transformed a meet that should have been close into a strong victory.”  We’ll be back in action for the Pioneer Valley Invitational on December 5.
