Workout 3



Warm Up: 500

5 x200's
The interval should be set such that you swim fast but relaxed, and get approximately 10 seconds rest. The goal is too maintain the fast pace when you start to get tired.

100 easy

12 x 75 on the 1:15 - Each one will have a 25 under and a 50 over. Cycle the UW

1st 75 - 1st length under
2nd 75 - 2nd length under
3rd 75 - 3nd length under
Keep repeating this pattern.

Each group of 3 should be faster than the previous group. So #'s 10, 11 and 12 should be fast.
5 x 100 Kick - build each 100 - on the 1:45

8 x 25 UW on the :30

100 Easy

(3,100)



Workout 4


This is a good Pace work out. Try to hold the same pace through out the entire main set.

Warm Up:
10 x 50 with :30 rest between each - on the odd 50s swim 1st length, kick 2nd length. On the even 50’s on the first length think about your breathing technique, 2nd length BOGDAT (Breathe Once Go Down And Touch)

Main Set:
400 straight swim - remember your time, take 1:00 rest
2 x 200 swim - your 200 times should be faster than ½ your 400 time from above. :45 rest after each
4 x 100 swim - your 100 times should be faster than ½ your 200 times from last set. :30 rest after
8 x 50 swim - :15 rest

(2,100)



Workout 5


This Workout is a good one to do once a month or so and record your times for the 200s. You should see a steady improvement from month to month on your average time for the 4 200s as your fitness improves.

Warm Up:
300 swim, 200 pull, 100 kick

12 x 25 Do it as 3 sets of 4 x 25 freestyle stroke drill (#1 reach arm over the barrel for a good catch, #2 pull down center of body drawing a line with your thumb, #3 finish your stroke past mid thigh, #4 think about consistent kick)

4 x 200 swim :30 rest after each swim
The idea with this set is that you want to try to make each 200 faster than the one before. So, start #1 out fairly easy and then increase your speed on each one. Record your times for the 4 200s after you are done with the workout. Do this set again in 4 weeks and see if you can improve on your times.

4 x 50 with :30 rest---nice and easy, use as a swim down.

Short intervals - all swimming on the next 2 sets (with or without fins)
4 x (3 x 25 swim + 75 swim)
The 25s should be on a very short rest - less than :05, with the 75 on an interval that will give you about :10 rest at a moderate pace. Ie. 25s on :20 and 75 on 1:10.
100 easy
