BEAR SWIMMING WORKOUT 042017.
Thursday April 20th ( Thursday) we will meet at Richmond Swim Center (RSC),There is a swim cost of $3.00 I believe. 5:30-7:00 pm . Our Olympic sized facility should be open by 04/23/2017 (CCC). Monday's dryland was fun and challenging. It was Our version of tough cross training. We circled and wove our way through the hilly campus approaching each of the sites built in obstacles and opportunities. First was the Cardiac bark hill .....6 rounds with high knees on a slippery tan bark slope, one tumble was taken. Second was building box jumps with the goal to match ones naval. Almost completed 5 rounds. The whole course is ran from obstacle to obstacle. Thirdly we hit 6 rounds of stairs..... followed by more box jumps. The Ab station was hanging knee lifts ( we call them iron crosses because they are usually performed behind the steel bleachers), these were particularly tough utilizing the balustrades stainless steel cable for grip.We pushed on to the soft track surface where we raced,ran forwards and backwards while the Comets stretched in the center field. The course took around 1 hour,and aerobicly was similar to one of our swim workouts. Well done. Now for Wednesday's set : warm up 321. 4 x 250 bubble IM's ,100 yard rotating bubbles. 50 scull. 3 x 150 kick swim by 50 ( fly,back,breast) 50 v sit scull. 200 yard short axis drill set.shooters/ skimmers x 25 (4 rounds).

Bear Swimming Acknowledges Farida Osman as 3rd fastest in the World
Farida and her brother Ahmed would come from Egypt every summer to swim Bear. Hard work and talent have paid off for Olympic Gold Medalist Farida ! I was a Cub coach at the time, but it was easy to recognize the speed and ability which I would catch on film at Swim Meets.
