If you don’t have some idea of how you should set up a practice, let us suggest a way here.
Step 1
How much time do you have?
Step 2
Divide that time into 3 sections.
Step 3
Set aside 10 to 15 minutes for the Tune-Up. It is always worth it (if the tune up is quality) even if you have very short time.
Step 4
Select one to three skills to work on for the day. This may include a test swim, if you choose.
Step 5
Design a tasks for each one of those skills.
Step 6
Leave time for at least one task at the end that allows you to review what you’ve worked on this day. This fills the place of what is traditionally known as the ‘cool-down’ – instead, in TI we use it to review what just occurred and set some intentions for the next practice.
Step 7
Take notes immediately following. What did you learn? In what ways did you succeed? In what ways did you fail? What new observations did you make? How shall this affect your plans for the next practice?
Example Outlines:
A 45 minute practice may look like this:
- 15 minute Tune-Up
- 10 minute Task 1
- 10 minute Task 2
- 10 minute Review Task
A 60 minute practice may look like this:
- 15 minute Tune-Up
- 15 minute Task 1
- 10 minute Task 2
- 10 minute Task 3
- 10 minute Review Task
