Here is a triathlon swim practice emphasizing building (ie starting a single swim slower and getting faster throughout to the finish). The point of the primary set is to force the builds in order to encourage energy conservation at the start of any swim….enjoy 🙂
WU-200 Fr/100 Kick/150 Fr/50 Kick (500 total)
16×25 Fr on rest :15 as-
1 and 2-Your choice of drill
**For the first 8x25s, stay with the same drill. After 8, you may switch to different drill if you choose. Be sure the drill is applicable to something you have personally been working on changing in your stroke. Take your time here and focus on that change**
3-easy Freestyle
4-uptempo Freestyle
**The purpose of the 3rd 25 is to apply the change that the drill emphasizes into the whole stroke, at a very easy, controlled pace. For the 4th 25, try and pick up your speed while maintaining that specific change**
