Definitions in Swimming (sets)

For today’s practice, you will be doing a bit of alternating between build, descend, and uptempo swimming. Building in swimming occurs within the same distance (ie a single 200), where you start off at comfortable pace, and get faster as the swim continues. Descending occurs over a set of repeats (ie 4x50s ) where each 50 must be faster than the previous one. Uptempo swimming is one consistent pace of about 75% effort, typically used to get the heart rate up a bit in order to either prepare for an upcoming set or swim, or to put forth a consistent strong pace throughout a single swim.
