Start out at a very easy gearing, over 20' gradually increase the resistance to a medium level. Maintain medium resistance for 20' spinning smoothly. Then gradually work back to the easy gear you started with over the last 20' minutes. Purpose is to loosen legs after long run or ride from day before.

WU: 400 easy. Then 'swim golf' = 6 x 50 on 15" rest & count strokes. What combination of time and strokes gives you the lowest ‘score?’ (Ex: 43 strokes + 45” = 88).
MS: Swim a moderate effort using the same stroke count in WU set. 12 x 100 (10”) moderate. 4 x 50 kick (20”) moderate.
CD: 200 easy alternating 50 pull, 50 swim.

'Pull' Drill - Focus will be on learning to 'catch' the water with your forearm and pull yourself through the water. If you feel your lats (the muscles under your arm pits that go down the side of your back) engage, then you are starting to get it. If your shoulders are tired, then you are still using too much shoulder and not enough lats.
