But more so if you are a Master’s Swimmer targeting a shorter pool-based event is that provides the base fitness on which to build your speed as part of a periodised swimming plan. This session is great for master’s swimmers.

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.
