definitely inspires. Brett's work definitely speaks for itself.

HAHHHAH WOWW!!! I WAS THEIR

HAHHHAH WOWW!!! I WAS THEIR

HAHHHAH WOWW!!! I WAS THEIR

HAHHHAH WOWW!!! I WAS THEIR

i did this set as a 15 year old in different intervals

I wish he is my coach mmm

hahahha i did this set with my coach as a 12 year old on easier intervals

targett is so hot

This set is awesome love doing it
i dont know what the first two fiftys are suposed to be on but when we do this set we go on 1:10 (scm)

Does anybody know what the first two fifties were on?

Yes they actually swim just as much as the distant people swim on most days, but they do it in burst. The distant swimmers will normally have 2 practices a day where the sprinters will have 3 a day, and in the end of the day it all equals out to around the same give or take.

My coach picked this set up from a convention and we do it all the time in practice. Its weird seeing someone I used to train with (Mike Silva) do it though at the school it is named after. Good to know he is only going to seconds faster than me on that last breaststroke one.

yeah, we'll publish it in almost magazine

is it in yard?

uhhh almost national highschool record in practice

Oh wow, the President of the United States has "fans" now? Absolutely ridiculous. Also, his name is Brett you idiot.

i like the "Yes We Can" on the white board! I hope brent's an Obama fan!

looks like brett knew what he was doing. check out what his boys are doing at SECs

jeez i feel so inadequate now. they made my free look terrible!

With Richard Quick in a hospital, Brett Hawke is the new head coach???!!!

so i'm a college swimmer turned high school coach and these videos are great! i've been able to get some great sets from such respected and talented programs and i only hope my girls see the benefits. i especially enjoy brett's sets b/c i find great ways to challenge the girls and switch things up a bit. thanks garrett and chris!

Ok if not the puke video then this one surely is No.1

you mean the songs listed in the description under "Music"?

yeah i was just gonna ask the same thing, i need this song

hi can someone please tell the title of the first song?

Um, can you say sprint group? What do you expect them to do, this isn't the whole team training like this. It just happens to work really well for the sprinters.

if thats true about them only doing these sprint sets that explains why they have like 8 guys in the 50 and 100 free top 16 at secs and like 2 in the 200 free. not that it matter though they have done alright without it...

George Bovell will swim under 19 at US Nationals!

i heard they don't do anything but sprint. they don't warm up, do these sprint sets and get out. same with that relay they did. They must do 10km a week

I heard they do about 40/50 km per a week. I am not sure though!!

Does anyone know how much yardage they do in a week?

these are crazy times they are going, very impressive

yeah, it's a mic, quick's wearing the same thing in the technique video.

isnt it just a mic?

get some more texas sets PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!!!

i am not sure if this is what it is but it looks alot like the ionizer my high school coach uses it like minimizes chlorine in air

what's that thing with the light attached to Brett Hawke's shirt?

cyclist, LOL at your post.

I agree with Chris. These are the sprinters. It's more about a anerobic thershold then a aerobic threshold. So, I bet they do it more then you think.

They might be doing this type of set more than you think.

i wonder what these guys do for a threshold, aerobic interval type workout...i mean, they can't be swimming sets like this all the time...

it looks like those first 2 are on 1:00

now this is what i like on my WWW. i suggest having a separate day for dryland. this is the stuff people come to see. any of the first several videos, the race club one, anything auburn, texas, stanford, olympian..that's the key.

Can anyone see what the intervals are for the 20fast/30 easy and 30fast/20 easy?

Why don't they get brett to coach evey swimmer at Auburn?

where are the two british olympians they picked up? I figure cesar and fred are not coming back...

@missed this- Jakob spent the second semester back in Denmark preparing for the Olympics.

copy cats with the songs

Gold, Silver and Bronze in Beijing. Not a bad result. This stuff must really work.

So this is the same guy that coached Cielo to a gold medal in beijing? Sorry I have been working at 7/11

he videos are great, not to mention he just coach some to an olympic gold and silver. it would of been awesome to watch brett and eamon against each other in this set.

that was very inspiring.

in a debate. Yes We Can. Ha! Auburn can, Obama can't. Interesting sidenote: The Mises Institute is located in Auburn. The Austrian School of Economics has predicted every step of the crumbling of our current economy. That was an awesome workout video. http://www.mises.org

Jacob beat punninski who goes sub 20 for the 50fly...this is insane is so many ways. Where was he last year? I think Auburn would have won with him and targett

this is the kind of stuff makes auburn the best sprint team in the nation...this is why they'll probably win ncaa's this year...brett really knows what he's doing

matt targett has an incredible downbeat kick on his butterfly

dang id like to do something like this.

Great set, could we see some mid-distance and stroke workouts?

That set just hurt my feelings.

that is absolutely filthy

solid

To put it bluntly, this video is pretty badass. it's awesome to see Brett's swimmers respond so well to whatever is thrown at them. Brett is right in teaching them to be able to go whenever wherever, no matter the circumstances. They head off their season against UGA, it'll be interesting to see what they can do in meet mode. Best wishes

They do this monday morning, i'd like to see what they do in the afternoons later on in the week.

Auburn will be a contender at NCAAs no doubt about it

i'm glad someone recgonized the obama reference "yes we can"

Great video always enjoyable.

i'd like to see a UVA and Florida workout of there middle distance/IM-ers

OBAMAA!!!

more from auburn my man

George Bovell was showing what he learned from the Race Club!

amazing post.. I LOVE IT!

Great that Brett shares what he has learned from his homeland....we hope our
guys are glad to getting an ear for his tantalizing accent. Thanks Garrett.

Yea if Cesar or Fred were present he would modify the dive 50 to be to the feet and he would have to say "Come on, someone under 19.0"

In response to phelpsian breathing every stroke... Looks to me like those breathing about every stroke have tremendously high body positions still, must be working alright... 23.0 21.9? Yep thats alright with me :).

Bovell totally beat out Targett.... in the first dive 50

If I was doing those sets I could go 18 in the 50FR! Everyone in the country should do that set at their next practice. If they do it, it will happen.

Brett Hawke is the man! He is the past, present, and future of Auburn swimming.

I have only ever seen Arnold Schwarzenegger do something sicker than that in a workout. Massive!

that was one sick set. and the times they were going were nasty.

this set and the first texas set are by far the nastiest things i have ever seen in a workout

I couldn't help but read the previous comment to myself in Brett's accent.

classic post, base.

Garrett, thanks for coming in mate, you are welcome back anytime. We are happy to share our program with the World. People like you are what makes this country so great. I hope USA swimming creates a media award and gives it to you! Keep doing what you are doing. Cheers!

Its November... They should be doing 3x800 for time.

garrett...you always capture all the goodness!

In response to wait's comment....hahaha so true

They probably rest and shaved for this practice. My bad, that was tennessee for their dual meet.

awesome set mr. hawke! we will be doing this...

If this set were to be any more impressive it would have the Auburn sprint kings cielo and bosquett

Awesome we finally get a legit Sprint set from AUburn. Brett is the man

Where are all the haters now?

I'm impressed to see that Auburn does more serious stuff than throwing up at practice. Free 19s and Fly 21s are incredible for morning workout - proof that they work these guys aas hard as their workouts are smart. Thanks for the post Garrett

And they wonder why Auburn is so dominant. With a coach like Brett and swimmers like targett, nobody can stop them!

Does Brett Hawke work for floswimming, he is everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I like him and what he believes in I think is great, but he has a new video every week. And they always get the most comments... Is he on the payroll?

Isn't signing today, nice timing.

Looks like Auburn is in good hands. Awesome workout, very impressive!

Grant Stoelwinder is a smart and awesome coach,

It would be nice if some other college teams were as open as Auburn about what they do.... Thanks for sharing the great workouts guys. One of the best Garrett!

pushing 21.0 in freestyle, diving 19s, pushing 23+ in fly and dive 21.9.....at a 6am workout. very impressive.

also interesting that his flyers are breathing every stroke....by design? Phelps-ian influence post-Olympics? or did they do this last year?

Looks like it's Auburn week at Floswimming...Good set.

The greatest set I have ever witnessed!
