Interval Sets - Endurance?

Freestyle Swim?

Freestyle Swim: 10 x 50 m with only 5 sec. rest

 
  • Rest 5 seconds between each swim.
  • Start with efficient “stealth” stroke, work into distance race pace. Don't overkick.
  • Try to match your 1000 meter pace with this set.

Freestyle Swim: 50-50-100 m with 5 sec. rest

  • Swim 2 x 50 meters with 5 seconds rest, then swim 100 meters: Repeat 3X.
  • This set builds into a 100 meter swim where the swimmer tries to match thepace set in the 50 meters.
  • Back off of the 50 meters a little to save up for the 100 meters.
  • If you want, add an extra 15 seconds of rest between each 50-50-100 to keepthe quality up
  • A “buildup” set like this will do great things for your endurance and sense ofpace

Freestyle Swim: 10 x 100 m with 10 sec. rest

  • Rest 10 seconds between each 100 meter swim.
  • Swim smoothly and efficiently. This is the set where you may exceed your long, slow swimming 1000 meter time

Breaststroke Swim: 50-50-100 m - 5 sec. rest

  • Done like the freestyle 50-50-100 set outlined above.
  • Concentrate on keeping effort level up.
