Elsie Too Jun 2019 6:32pm, 12 Jun 2019 2,115 posts	0 Elsie Too Did you use your beeper? I had mine set to 34 secs per length, did 100 with beeps at the end of the length, then the next 100 the beep when I was level with the clock half way along the length.
KatieB Jun 2019 6:36pm, 12 Jun 2019 7,548 posts	0 KatieB No didn’t use beeper. It just irritates me trying to find the button in each recovery. Use it for longer intervals when I can justify having a beeps worth of recovery.
Elsie Too Jun 2019 7:48pm, 12 Jun 2019 2,116 posts	0 Elsie Too Yeah I don’t bother trying to find buttons, just set it going before I get in the pool and leave it beeping away!

Angus Clydesdale Jun 2019 8:42am, 13 Jun 2019 15,233 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Hey rhb, it's always up for debate (certainly when I'm teaching/coaching I take a more holistic approach these days, which comes with experience, but it's useful to have a scheme to work to when you're analysing stroke and BLABT is the one they always used to teach teachers (and still do in Scotland)). In other news, I might even be troubling the water with my presence shortly!
Angus Clydesdale Jun 2019 3:56pm, 13 Jun 2019 15,239 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Well, that was....er....merde. An easy-paced “proper swimmer’s” swim but it was like cutting through glue and necessarily short. Good to be back in the water though - I definitely need to get some sort of plan sorted out.
