SwimSwam got to sit in on a practice with Carmel Swim Club in Carmel, Indiana. On this Tuesday morning workout, head coach Chris Plumb had his top group split into stroke groups of fly, back, and breast. Plumb took the fly group, which included Jr Pan Pacific champions Aaron (200 Fly) and Alex (100 Fly) Shackell.
Plumb was detail-oriented in his warm-up, throwing in a lot of different exercises to simply get the athletes’ bodies and strokes ready to swim fast butterfly. They went through drills, turn work, and dryland all with the intention of warming up their butterfly.
The main set was active rest, which included 4×100 fly fast with a 75 easy in between each swim, 6×75 fly fast with a 50 easy between each, 8×50 fly fast with a 25 easy between, and then 8×25 fast fly to finish.
Impressive swims by these boys, for sure. But WHO is the girl right on their toes..!?
That’s Alex Shackell.
Would loved to have seen backstroke group!
makes me anxious watching them break stroke to avoid clashes. coach hated me for that
Who was in the other black cap above the Shackells?
Young Enoch maybe? I only know what his dad looks like. #Salukis
Yes, that’s Gregg Enoch
Pretty decent record board.
Cool to see how butterflyers train! It’s always a struggle to see how much quality butterfly to assign without getting “survival” butterfly.
Coleman please try and go to as many gold medal clubs as you can!
these are so much more interesting than college P&Ps
Always eager to visit more club teams.
I went back and looked just now: I’ve filmed practices with 6 of the top 20 of this year’s Gold medal clubs (including carmel) if you’re interested in watching them
Carmel, Sandpipers, Cavalier, Long Island, TAC
Who’s the 6th?
Mason Manta Rays, March 2018 when all 3 Fosters were there
What other clubs do you think you would be able to film?
Great practice. Would love to see more club workouts like this. Still hopeful for a Sarasota P&P in the very near future! I mean, who wouldn’t want to go to Florida in December or January?
P & P was in Sarasota today! Can’t wait to watch it!
i hope it would be a long video，wanna see summer more training
