Coaching and Teaching Swimming

An one hour set for a mixed Training Group Session

This looks straight forward. T2 start off on 2 x 300, T3 start off on 4 x 100. This would work if the swimmers were in their groups, but a) there is a tendency for some T2 to swim with T3, and some T3 to swim with T2 and b) the groups divide four  ways by ability, age and drive: T2/T1, T2, T2/T3 and T3(T4)

We ought to seed and re-seed them as their enthusiasm waxes and wanes.
