Barracuda Aquatics Club Training Philosophy - Senior Team

SENIOR TEAM TRAINING

Stress Point System: Is based upon your resting & swimming heart rates. There are six levels of training that will have a stress point attached to it. The stress point is based upon one minute of swimming. You will not do more than two of any level in one practice session & you will not do more than a total of 200 points in one 2 hour practice session.

The six levels of training are:

•  Aerobic Endurance (AE) – HR 150-170; :10-:15 rest; Stress Point 2

•  Aerobic Endurance+ (AE+) – HR 170-180; :10-:15 rest; Stress Point 2

•  Aerobic Power (AP) – HR 180-190; :30-:45 rest; Stress Point 6

•  Lactate Tolerance (LT) – HR above 200; 3:30-4:00 rest; Stress Point 8

•  Lactate Production (LP) – HR above 200; 1:30-2:00 rest; Stress Point 10

•  Sprint (SP) – 6 to 10 second bursts; :15 to :20 rest; Stress Point 4

There will be practices where we will be basing each level of training off of your specific resting heart rate that will be calculated at the beginning of the practice.
