Saturday Swim Session: Allan Pitman’s Ironman Swim Session #6

Allan Pitman was a legendary Australian Ironman coach — and this classic swim session is a brilliant way to build sustained aerobic pace and swim-specific strength. Using a pull buoy and swim band, you’ll lock into solid, steady work that’s perfect for Ironman triathletes and long-distance open-water swimmers. Choose Option A, B, or C depending on your fitness level, then settle in and build the engine that helps you swim smoother, stronger, and faster on race day.
