Hello,
New to triathlon. Looking for some good swim workouts that I can laminate and have by the pool. Little background. Recently lost 90lbs still a Clydesdale (not by much). Never done a tri. Good swimmer ( originally a California beach kid). Trying an Olympic for my first. Self coaching with a friend that scolds me when I'm over training. Good guidance always accepted.
Hi Perier, welcome to triathlon and BT!
That's a good friend
If you're already comfortable swimming and can do front crawl, I highly recommend Sheila Taormina's Swim Speed Workouts. They're not expensive and they come with a waterproof coating. They're virtually indestructible.
But it's not the cover that counts--IMO there's just not a better or more effective swim program. They're not random workouts, but they build in a progression. |
