Welcome to Swimming World’s Set of the Week sponsored by Commit Swimming.com! This week’s set is a sprint and pace set.

X # of Rounds:

12 x 25 w/ snorkel and :05 rest
1-3: front sculling
4-6: underwater recovery
7-9: straight arm free
10-12: fast breakout/fast finish
3 x 50 w/ fins descend 1-3
4 x 50 as:
1: 25 from the blocks
2 & 3: fast between flags from a push
4: all out 50 from blocks

The set starts off with some drill work with a snorkel and (eventually) fins, mixing in some active recovery drill work and speed play. The set then adds 3 x 50 descend just to get primed to swim fast before heading into some all out work from a push and the blocks. The pace for those swims can be whatever works for your particular group, and the set is great to repeat multiple times depending on your time and needs.
