2009 Long Course Nationals at the Indianapolis pool. It’s my favorite pool and as the young guy in the 55-59 age group, I broke two national records in the 50 &100 breaststroke.

Favorite set

Fridays I love doing speed work. The main set is 4 rounds of 8 x 25’s with an easy 100 in between rounds. Each round gets more rest with send off intervals of :35, :40, :45, :50. The first round is free, and then I will vary which stroke I swim on the next three rounds because I also like to train for the 100IM.
8. What is something you need to improve or are constantly working on in the pool? Swimming is a never ending quest to optimize propulsion and reduce drag. However, this is especially important for me at my age as I am working to try and regain the ability to kick breaststroke after my 4th knee surgery.

See how close I can return to my pre-injury capabilities, while accepting the fact that whatever I can do will be for fitness and fun!
