Interval training is essential to improving your swim time. Here are a few examples of setting up your swim interval training.

Question:

For now, three times a week, I go out and 90% of the time I just swim a continuous 2000m+ at lunch. My average pace for the entire workout, over the last 2-3 months, has dropped (from beginner-slow to a less-slow 2'17"/100m [a new PR today!]), while my distance over those same months has steadily increased.

My questions are:

• Am I shortchanging myself by skipping on the intervals now during base-building?

• Would I improve faster by incorporating them now?

• Or, does LSD apply to swimming as well as running/cycling?

Answer:

Yes! Interval training is essential to improving your swim time. [.....]
