Our friends at MySwimPro break down how to prepare for open water swimming in your pool training.
The following workout incorporates some of the training tips mentioned above. It’s 4,200 meters and should take less than 90 minutes to complete. The goal of the third set in the warmup (4 x 75s) is to practice sighting.
The Main set is essentially a broken 3,000 swim with the assigned rest intervals. On this endurance-focused workout, it’s important to keep in mind the concept of a hip-driven freestyle stroke. Really think about engaging the core (without overusing the legs) to increase distance per stroke.
