On Football Saturdays, you can catch the Ohio State swim team in the weight room (a DIY gym inside an old basketball arena) at 7am for their weekly full-body circuit. How do they finish the circuit? With a few rounds of good ol’ fashioned Tug-of-War.
After their lift, the Buckeyes got into the pool for a quick warmup before their main set, 34×50. The pattern was as follows:
- 4 Smooth, 1 Fast
- 3 Smooth, 2 Fast
- 2 Smooth, 3 Fast
- 1 Smooth, 4 Fast
- 4 Smooth, 1 Fast
- 3 Smooth, 1 Fast
- 2 Smooth, 1 Fast
- 1 Smooth, 1 Fast
For most of the athletes, “fast” meant 200 pace today. There were a few athletes who did variations on this set. Amy Fulmer, who is going to Pan American Games later this month, swam all of the fast 50s as FAST. Charlie Clark, a distance swimmer and member of the US National team, swam 4 descend and 30 at mile pace.
Where is the video interview with the coach? I’m not finding it. Thanks,
Erin Fentress – Congratulations on the hard fought Tug-of-War win over a very tough opponent.
Why don’t any swimmers join Coleman for pancakes anymore?!
Great energy! Go Bucks!
PANCAKE PANCAKE PANCAKE
What were the 50s on? 1:00? Something else?
What a fun set
Maybe Ohio state should practice diving at the end of their practices as a tribute to the god tier diving squads that have largely spared Ohio State from the embarrassment of their inevitable annual NCAA collapse
Jesus Christ. Some of you commenters pretend as if having a talented diving team is an unfair advantage. Nothing is preventing {insert school you like} from building their diving program along side their swimming program.
I’m surprised you’re not a larger Cal fan if success at NCAAs despite poor diving performances is something that interests you.
Andrew never swam nor dove. He was the creeper in open swim with floaties watching all the athletes
Nah. He’s just a Michigan guy.
i swam at SMU. i’ve made this clear and have cited this in the past. “Andrew” is obviously an alias since no one in their right mind would use their real name in this forum
Yeah. Nobody.
Hey did you ever swim for any other colleges besides SMU?
No. Unfortunately I finished before the covid years and never got a 5th year of eligibility. I’m also not fast enough where I can pull a Hugo Gonzalez or Grant House and spend 8 years in the NCAA system
Checks out.
D’oh
