Developing your ability to sustain a higher pace, gives you the ability to build higher speed on top of the speed you can sustain (a great benefit for master’s swimmers). It also gives a great training stimulus to enhance your threshold swimming (a great benefit for triathletes and open-water swimmers). This session is perfect for master’s swimmers as well as open-water swimmers and triathletes.

Breaking longer swims up into segments is a great way to add speed, whilst building stamina or endurance into a workout. This session was described to me by Debs Lynch a few years ago whilst she was in the New Zealand High Performance Triathlon Squad, as one of her favourites. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open water swimmers.

This will allow you to finish the swim fresher for the remaining legs of the triathlon. This is a great session for triathletes and open water swimmers to do to build their sustained speed.
