Subject: RE: Swim Plan for building from stopping at the end of each lengthThis program has helped me at the beginning of my swimming adventure:

later, I used 50x50, which is swimming 50 meters (or whatever your pool length is ), take a break, swim 50, take a break, etc..... I never swam longer than the 50 in one shot, did about 20 of them, and was able to complete Oly tri, so the program definitely works. It was receommended to me in this forum a while ago. The advantage of this training is that you maintain good form. If you just keep swimming continuously for 500 meters or so, eventually you get tired, your form get wekaer around 300-400, and your brain gets used to poor swimming habits. If you do 50 laps of 50 meters, you will still complete 2,500 meters, your endurance will be there, and your form will remain in tact. |
