Anyone want to share swim workouts?

asked about 3 years ago | Report

Given how this is a social site I have been posting my swim workouts. Is anyone else doing the same in an effort to share? Should we set up a swim workout thread so we could exchange?

Look forward to your thoughts, ideas, and feedback.

    I'm game! I'm not a triathlete, though... *just* a swimmer who does a little running here and there. I hope you don't count that against me ;)

    There's a "Chlorine Addicted" group ( http://www.dailymile.com/groups/38-chlorine-addicted), but I'd be happy to join a new group. Keep me posted!.

    I am an injured runner who swims, but I don't do any workouts perse. I just swim as much as I can, on non working days its a mile. On days after work its as much as I can do (I work nights so I get tired pretty easily in the morning...)
    So you can feel free to add me as a friend, but I am not sure you are interested in just seeing that I swim laps! no intervals, or anything like that...

    This is my favorite workout:
    Warm up: 800 SKPS (200 swim, 200 kick, 200 pull, 200 swim)
    Main set: 8 x 75 as: first 25 drill (or IM order), 50 free
    100 kick on back no board, alternate flutter and dolphin
    6 x 100 on 1:40 (or 80% with 5 sec rest in between)
    100 kick on back no board, alternate flutter and dolphin
    2 x 50 tiger sprints (one length no breathing/underwater easy, 2nd length sprint hard)
    Cool down: 200 choice

    Total: 2600m
    Adjust as desired and enjoy! (I love swimming...)
