Sprint Training with Loofahs and Relay Starts | LSU SWIMMING WORKOUT VIDEO

Swimming news courtesy of SwimSwam.com (swimswam.com)
SwimSwam took a visit to Baton Rouge, where the LSU tigers are in full swing of their winter training. This Monday PM practice was focusing on relay takeovers as well as a little bit of anaerobic endurance. The men and women would switch from relay exchanges to speed work, using a shower loofah (instead of a typical swim parachute) for resistance. Head coach Rick Bishop likes the loofah as opposed to a parachute because you can swim at top speed with resistance without it hindering technique.

did the LSU coaching staff give a rationale for the loofahs? Looks like it was set up like a parachute. Is it similar resistance? Does the resistance change as the loofah becomes fully saturated?

nick mahabir started it i think, its supposed to work like a parachute except it doersnt sink

[@droppingshots2253]

I’m interested to hear from anybody that has swum with a loofah before: how does it feel compared to the regular chute?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. LSU natatorium looking like the worst in the SEC

After watching the videos of the Foster brothers at a meet at Alabama, i say Alabama is worse. At least as LSU has a separate diving well and doesn't need lane lines to divide the pool. It has a regular platform to divide it.

Silly starts…

Loofahs? I don't see any loofahs
