My swimming plan

[spo0nman]

Starting tomorrow, I'm sticking with a swimming plan, from www.swimplan.com. Even though I can swim well I'm starting off with a beginner plan. It sounds pretty good.

Duration 30-45 mins
Distance 1000m
Pool length 25m

Warm up

• 2 x 50m Freestyle Swim (even pace), rest 0:15 / 50m
Freestyle swim at a steady pace.

Build up (repeat 4 times)

• 1 x 25m Freestyle Breath Left, rest 0:10 / 25m
Freestyle swim, breathing only on your left side.
• 1 x 25m Freestyle Breath Right, rest 0:10 / 25m
Freestyle swim, breathing only on your right side.

Core

• 6 x 50m Freestyle DPS, rest 0:20 / 50m
Freestyle swim with maximum Distance Per Stroke (DPS). Concentrate on long, efficient strokes and a high streamlined body position to reduce drag in the water. Count your strokes per lap and try to reduce.
• 6 x 50m Freestyle Swim, rest 0:15 / 50m

Warm down

• 1 x 100m Freestyle Easy, rest 0:20 / 100m
Freestyle swim at a slow, relaxed pace.
