Saturday Swim Session: Top End Speed Builder

Sprint Training is the cherry on the top that gives you your race speed. With a periodised training plan, the preceding sessions are all building to this point to maximise and optimise the speed developed in these sessions. This session is perfect for master’s swimmers, although not specifically targeted for triathletes and open water swimmers this session will help sharpen the top-end swim speed.

Saturday Swim Session: Hansen & Hansen’s Distance Free 4

Endurance is a critical component of fitness for triathletes and long distance open water swimmers. The reps within this session involve a range of paces to develop the skill and mindset to finish an open water swim or swim leg of a triathlon with stamina. There are some progressive paces used to build your fitness. This is a great session for triathletes and open water swimmers to do to build their sustained speed.

Saturday Swim Session: Building Speed and Threshold Pace

The ability to swim at and maintain your threshold pace is a critical component of fitness for triathletes and long distance open water swimmers. When large numbers of short reps with short rests are strung together your threshold swimming pace is developed, as is the case with this workout. This is a great session for triathletes and open water swimmers to do to build their sustained speed.

Saturday Swim Session: Alternate T-Times

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.
