accelerations

[spsc12]

I have a couple of question regarding the use of accelerations in the s to l progression. FYI i am a swimming coach and have little exp with track.

Are these sort of like build ups to the intensity limit (ie 30m)? Or are you coming out of the starting position or block and trying to go as fast as possible over 30m?

Also, If the athlete is performing an event over the time of 27 sec (50m freestyle) how would the s-l progression be adjusted to this longer event time.

Thanks in advance to all responders!

Or better put…how would the 100m progression be adjusted for 200 m?? Since the 200m is somewhat closer to the 50m freestyle in terms of time.

Maybe you could PM Pakewi. He’s had great success with the 50m and could definitely help there.

I pm Pakewi today and hope to hear from him.

Thanks Charlie
