Tower 26 video series...good stuff from Gerry Rodrigues!!
Quote | Reply
Got a series of videos on youtube from Tower 26 coach Gerry Rodrigues. I need to watch them multiple more times, but may be of interest to others...it's long - 12 videos, a seminar basically but great info.

Started watching this, then realized, I was there in person. Lots of good information there, even I learned something (been a swimmer since the age of 4).

Bump. Anyone trying to improve their swimming needs to watch these. A thread with (company name redacted) gets 6,000 views and this one only gets 600?

At least for me, the problem was the title not being descriptive. I may be clueless but I had no idea what this was about. Tower 26? I was thinking Tower Records... Once I got referred here by another thread I agree it's great.

I'll do my part to keep this on the front page a little longer and maybe a few more people will see it. The critical workout he describes in the 7th or 8th video is really good. Working my way up to 4 x 1000 (talk to me in May), but liking the mix of pulling, aerobic and speed in the 4 x whatever set concept. To not over think it, swim training is really very simple, you have to make it hard. Peter

This is the TRUTH from Gerry's mouth himself, and something that still makes me realize why I am still a struggling MOP adult-onset swimmer:

- "You have to swim CONSISTENTLY for 2 years to even begin to 'learn' to swim."
- At least one of your sessions per week has to be a 90 minute session with 4000 of intervals, almost all done hard. (He lays out the structure.)

It's pretty awesome stuff. I was thinking people would like it when I saw it.

Glad everyone is enjoying it. The only people it probably won't work for is the mens 35-39 age group for IMC, but should help everyone else :)
