Train like you race

It's a common theory for any type of athletic event that you should train like you race. The point being that your training will prepare you for the actual competition day. Our friendly team in training coaches like to torture us on the pool sessions with sideways stroke drills and other assorted ones where the main purpose seems to be to provide them with fun and amusement. They tell us that these drills are good for our skill development, but I sometime s wonder. They appear to be enjoying our sinking way too much. With that in mind, I expect this to be coming soon for one of our Swim GTS (group training sessions) when we go into open water.
