Swim Workout #2

The leaves are starting to fall, the morning air is cool. I know there is not much motivation to get in the pool, but swimming is so good for you. It is a total body workout, very low impact and feels great on those tired and sore muscles. Feel free to adjust the yardage for a shorter or longer swim.

Warm up:  500 yds. (100 yards easy, 100 yards at a faster pace, 75 yards easy, 75 yards fast, 50 yards easy, 50 yards fast, 25 yards easy, 25 yards fast)

5-10 x 100 yards:  20 seconds rest

(odds: freestyle/evens: stroke)

250 yards kick: (alternate 25 easy, 25 fast)

250 yards pull

8 x 50 yards:  (IM switches: fly/back, back/breast, breast/free, free/fly x repeat)

200 yards swim easy
