This week’s curated workout is an even 3200 yards long with a freestyle descend focus – perfect for the competitive swimmer looking to learn how to get faster as the race goes on, or anyone looking for a real huff n’ puffer!
The warmup and preset are each 800 yards apiece, which lays a good foundation for the 1,300 yard long main-set. During the warmup, there are portions that ask you to go some drill/swim combos, double check that your watch is in Drill Mode prior to that portion on the warmup. On the 200 (50BK/50FR) make sure you complete an entire 50 back & free so we can accurately track your progress.

Main set: Our main set this week is a cool 1300 yards with a goal of getting faster as you go through the set. The longer swims are the focus here with the 25’s acting as a recovery tool. Don’t be afraid to mix in some different strokes on the 25’s to get your body nice and recovered to descend to some speedy swims on the longer stuff.
