While in Philadelphia, I took a visit to the University of Pennsylvania to come see what their Friday breaststroke group looks like. Penn, the new home to national teamer (200 breast) and freshman Matt Fallon, is no stranger to elite breaststroke, having produced national teamer and American record-holder in the 50m breast, Brendan McHugh. On this particular Friday, the team did a little IM work (75s transition capped with a 200 IM for time), 50s breast at pace (the top group going 8×50 @ :40 and 5×50 @ :45), and finished things off with some power work.

Whose idea was it to mount the camera on the kickboard?
Mans really just hit my 200 IM PB mid-training off a push and then went on to hit a 29 second 50 breast off a push… what the hell
Is Fallon the kid that came out of nowhere at Trials?
That’s the one. Love watching his breaststroke technique, it’s so fun
Gyurta-esque
I wouldn’t say he came completely out of nowhere. He was a 1:51 breaststroker before trials – no what I’m saying?
Penn University?
Nah, UPenn.
It’s worth saying that Fallon’s practice was SCM. Puts that 2:06 into perspective 😳. Go Quakers!
Yes, the bulkheads are back-to-back.
What was the power set?
