Key Triathlon Swimming Workouts

Going to give you 18 workouts to get going in the water, do you want to get a routine going but feel like your just to weak a swimmer and don’t know where to start, well this will help get you going.  It does not matter what stroke you do for these swim workout. It does not matter how fast or how slow you swim these workouts. The sole goal is to increase the amount of swimming you do within one workout. Within one swim workout, there are 25′s, 50′s, 75′s, and – at the end of the plan – a 100.

How long should you stop between each effort? How much rest should you take? I am using breaths to indicate rest. Control your breathing when you finish each effort as best you can, and count each exhalation. When you reach the indicated number of breaths, it is time to start the next swim effort.

Triathlon Swimming Workouts for you.

At the beginning of the triathlon swimming workouts plan, it does not matter very much as long as you are able to do the swims. There is recommended rest for each swim, but if you need more, take it! If the swim is a 25, then you take rest between each 25. If the swim is a 50, you should try to keep swimming, with no rest, until you complete the full 50; the same for a 75 or a 100. Swim the full 75 or full 100 before you stop to take rest.

If you need to stop at any time to rest, then do it. The goal is to increase the amount of swimming you do within a workout. If that means taking more rest or swimming shorter efforts, that is OK.

You will get the best results by doing at least three triathlon swimming workouts each week. You could do them from #1 through #18, or you could do #1 two or three times in a week, then do number #2 two or three times in a week, etc.
