Saturday Swim Session – Stamina Is The Key

Stamina and Endurance are essential for a number of reasons. If you are a triathlete or open water swimmer this is useful for the duration of your event. 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.

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.
