Jennings on Sikes: “Lauren can swim fly, distance free and IM. We brought her in primarily for the IM and fly. She did not do a high workload in her previous training. She’s coming from a program in which she did one workout a day, and now she’s doing two workouts a day plus weight training. We’re hoping our program will help her move forward. ”
