We took a trip down to Charlottesville to bring you a couple practices from the defending women's NCAA champions. On this Monday afternoon, Todd DeSorbo was running a 50 free group which included Matt Brownstead (2021 ACC champion, 50 & 100 free) and Matt King (2021 SEC champion, 50 & 100 free). They were doing sprints on the racks: each time you swam an effort, you would add weight if you went 5.5 or faster. If you went 6.0 or slower, you would lose weight.

Over on the dive well end, associate head coach Blaire Bachman was running a 200 pace group, including the likes of Gretchen Walsh (backstroke), Alex Walsh (breaststroke), and Paige Madden (fly/back). Here is their main set:
