Coaches notes week 3:
Goal of swim WOD is to practice breath capacity in the skill. Athletes can scale the breathing if needed, but encouraged to find a challenging breathing cadence by the 3rd 25. WOD is intended to practice swimming endurance while taxing core and shoulders.
Goal of dryland version is to build pulling strength in skill, pick weights that will challenge athletes to build strength with volume. In the WOD athletes are encouraged to push themselves on the ski under core and shoulder fatigue.
