The Third 50
13 LESSONS

The Third 50

Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 is flowing because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together. The 3rd 50 is the "championship" lap, where the great swimmers take control of themselves and the race and power away to victory. We want to share our almost 80 years of experience with coaches, swimming teachers, swimmers, triathletes, and people who love being in and around the water worldwide.  Who Are Wayne and Glenn?  Wayne Goldsmith is an Australian coach, mentor, writer, speaker, and presenter.

The BIG EAST champion and former Portuguese Olympian established a mark of 1:02.13. Almeida had a monster year for the Cards in 2010-11. He competed in the NCAA Championships in the 200-IM and 100-breast and as the second leg of the 400-medley relay. The 400-medley team advanced to the NCAA finals.
