| Warm up #2: | 6 X 50 @ :50 | 6 X 50 @ :50 | 5 X 50 @ 1:00 | Least number of breaths per 50 on all but next to last. Breathe all you want and go easy on next to last.

| Easy 50: Hear the bad news about the next set | ||||
| Main Set #1: | 8 x 100 @ S.R. | 7 x 100 @ S.R. | 6 x 100 @ S.R. | S.R.: "Short Rest", this is the shortest rest possible - the best interval you can do. Maintain a good pace so that you can make all your 100s. Lane one had everyone make 1:10, lane two was on 1:15, 3: on 1:20/1:25, 4: on 130/135, 5 on 145, 6 on 1:50. Great set everyone! That's how to get some aerobic work under your belt! |
| Kick Break: | 200 | 200 | 200 | Sorry about sharing the boards. Take an easy kick, a great break from the set above. |
| Main Set #2: | 5 x 100 @ S.R. (-5 sec.) | 5 x 100 @ S.R. (-5 sec.) | 4 x 100 @ S.R. (-5 sec.) | All of you made a faster interval. Great job! The fast lane had 6 swimmers make an astounding 1:05. |
| Kick Break: | 200 | 200 | 200 | More boards are available. Some weenies are getting out. Again: take an easy kick, and relax from the set above. |
| Last Set #3: | 3 x 100 @ S.R. (-5 sec.) | 2 x 100 @ S.R. (-5 sec.) | 2 x 100 @ S.R. (-5 sec.) | Your last chance for stardom! Go for the best possible interval you can make. Two swimmers in the fast lane made a 1:03 for 3!! Great job for everyone who stayed in. |
| Easy loosen: | 100 | 100 | 100 | |
