Main Set
|
There should be very little rest in this set, so you might have to drop
the times to ensure that a maximium of 20s rest is obtained between each distance.

Kick Set
|
I like to use fins and the times reflect this. If your preference is different
the times might have to be adjusted.
|
K 8x75 on 1:15
|
|
Pull Set
|
This is where I like to work in hypoxic breathing and drills on the pulling motion of my stroke.
The times are relaxed so that form will not be comprimised.
|
P 8x125, 30s rest after each one
|
|
Other
|
I always like to do a burn-out set towards the end of my workout.
That's what this is. I was fortunatly able to make these times, but there are many times I
can't The key is to never quite just keep swimming as hard as you can until you catch up
or complete the yardage. This is all one set and there is no rest between each subset.
