Swim Camp change

mille1as

Good morning, Coach Rich,

My season roadmap recommends adding swim camp early 2015.  I have only one pool that I can swim in because I have an allergy to the bromine used in the most convenient pool.  The pool I CAN swim in is only available for masters classes, which I've been doing and will continue to do (2 times a week - Monday and Wednesday mornings before work) until the ice melts in May (I'm in Michigan) and I'll start swimming in a lake down the road.  So what that means is the swim camp schedule just won't work for me.  I'm not terribly concerned about my swim - I swam 1:24 at CDA last year and felt very comfortable.  I have a local coach I'll be working with when I'm doing open water, so pool practice is to just stay limber and wet What should I do instead of swim camp?

Hey Allison,

Ok, sounds good. Lets do this:

• Follow the OS plan through wk 14
• On 2/2 load up the Get Faster plan, to end on 2/23.
• Then on 3/23, load up the HIM plan to end on 6/14

Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!

Coach - to clarify, do you mean to load up HIM on 2/23.  if not, there will be a one month gap from 2/23 when I end Get Faster and 3/23 when you recommend start of HIM.  Guessing just a typo but want to be sure.  Thanks - hope Santa was good to you.

Yes, sorry, that was a typo
