Swim workouts

Aerobic, threshold, VO2max and sprint swims — the endurance pillar's four intents, delivered in water.

  1. Sprint SwimBrief maximal efforts in water — the whole body switched on at once, at almost no metabolic cost and no impact cost at all.
  2. Threshold SwimSustained swimming at the edge of controlled effort — endurance's threshold rung delivered in water, and judged by how long you could hold it.
  3. Aerobic SwimSteady, conversational swimming that builds the engine without impact. Twenty minutes is the restorative dose, fifty and up is the Long Swim — one session, the duration is the dose.
  4. Long Swim: The Water's Long EffortWhy an Aerobic Swim held past fifty minutes is the swim plan's volume anchor, and what it teaches that shorter swims can't.
  5. VO2max SwimTwo-minute hard repeats with short rest — the swim's top-end aerobic session, pushing the ceiling with the joints asked for nothing.
