Welcome to Swimming World’s Set of the Week sponsored by Commit Swimming.com! This week’s set is a sprint workout that decrease yardage as it ramps up the speed. Moving through 3 rounds, this set always begins with 600 yards of prep work to get ready to get up and swim fast.

What changes each round is the last series of the set, which starts as 6 x 75’s and progresses to 6 x 50’s and 6 x 25’s. Each series of distances is on 1:00 with some level of intense, all out efforts. Your athletes will progressively get more rest as they move through the rounds, so make sure they are starting fast and pushing to see how long they can hold their speed, stroke rate, and race plan.

Check out the set below and let us know what you think!

200 drill/swim by 25 on 3:00
