Company Swim PT this week

Swim PT, same as below. Show up at 0615 in the main Gaffney gym in PT gear for the warm-up & demos. We will be running a combat conditioning swim drill.
  • Be prepared to change over immediately after the warm-up into swim gear
  • Have a towel, shower shoes or flip-flops, and any other gear you'd like for swimming (googles, nose plugs)
  • The "Speedo" is not authorized pt gear.
The Conditioning Drill will consist of squats and laps; so come motivated and get some.

****results were outstanding, and devastatingly so****
After the 3x5-15 of the CFWU and 5 minutes of cardio machines to break a sweat we did the following:

100 Squats
500m swim (10 laps)
100 Squats

Squats were to have been air squats, with full range of motion, many lacked the full ROM. Good efforts, but we need to work on this. When you cheat the full range of motion, you cheat yourself. Integrity is something you can lose quickly, and never earn back.
I heard times from ~19:00 to ~28:00, still not keeping for records, but that grace period is winding down.
Good work done by all who showed.
