This session is a great tool to determine your current level of fitness and use as a benchmark for planning of future training sessions. This is an alternate method for determining it, really great if you have limited time for this workout. I use the main version every four to six weeks with my athletes and this version for athletes starting out, or recommencing training after a good break.

Are you a regular fitness swimmer?
Do you struggle to find inspiration for a swim workout?
Due to a request to put together a year long training programme for a group of swimmers, I’m now launching Swim 365 to everyone else.
It might be you take the lead for a group of friends who swim together. Maybe you plan the training for a local masters group. Maybe you swim by yourself and need some inspiration for some workouts each week.
Each session will develop all round swimming fitness by improving aerobic efficiency, Distance Per Stroke (DPS), swim speed, lactate tolerance and/or threshold pace.
Spending a large amount of time swimming at or near your threshold pace and mixing in a bit of faster (or slower) swimming will develop not only your ability to sustain pace, but also give your VO2 max a boost. This session is great for swimmers and triathletes preparing for longer, open water swims.
