Building your ability to sustain your threshold pace in a swim is an important capability for triathletes and open-water swimmers. These sessions further develop that ability by progressing the intensity as you work through the workout, but maintaining the Rest Interval (RI). The session gets tougher, as you work through it. This session will benefit triathletes of all distances, as well as other open-water swimmers.

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. This session is great for master’s swimmers as well as open-water swimmers and triathletes.
