Hello,

For a swim workout that has the 'main set' = 4 x 400 at even pace (alternate 3x400), what does the alternate part refer to?

THANKS

Its an alternate set for slower swimmers. If I was coaching a group session I always shorten the interval and keep the rep numbers the same.


So faster guys would do

4x400

Next lane might be
4x350
Next lane
4x300
Newbs
4x250

That said you are better served swimming 8x200 or 16x100.

This month, drills make up about 15% of each workout, and we’re continuing intervals. The focus will be on finishing your pull and again, hip rotation.

This month, we’re doing slightly fewer drills and slightly more distance. Focus on completing the workouts and notice the changes to your stroke.

Good swimming is relaxed swimming. Relaxed swimming depends on practicing the best techniques and the best body position.
