700 Yard Beginner Swim Workouts

author : Tri Swim Coach
comments : 1

Practice these three workouts each week for 4 weeks. Just complete the workouts and notice the changes to your stroke.

Over the next few months, each month you will get 3-4 workouts designed to help you go from a beginner/newbie swimmer to being able to complete a workout of 3-4,000 yards without struggle, and transition into an intermediate/advanced level swimmer.

Plan to repeat these 3 workouts each week throughout the month. We will begin with 700-yard workouts and move up 1250, etc. Each month the workouts will get progressively more challenging and go from drill-intensive workouts to more interval-intensive, although there will always be drills in every workout written specifically for triathlon success!

Workouts are all quantified in yards. If you swim in a 25 or 50 meter pool, keep in mind that you will be doing a bit extra with each workout. Each months' workouts will also come with a glossary of terms at the end so you don't get confused.

Feel free to modify the workouts as needed, but do your best to complete everything.

Good luck and visit
