The ability to sustain repeated efforts with short rest periods will develop your threshold swimming ability. Although not pure speed this is a building block that will help you be a faster swimmer later in the season. This workout is of benefit early in a build up for swimmers trying to optimise their pure speed, as well as for triathletes and open water swimmers later in their build up as it enhances their threshold pace.

Building strength through increased resistance of tools such as hand paddles and/or pull buoys is essential for getting the most out of your swim stroke. However, it is important that it is not done to excess and it is done after a solid base-building phase of training to prepare you for the extra demands and training stimulus it gives you.
