12 week swim plan perfect for athletes looking to be able to swim 4km in a session or 3.8km swim comfortably and/or quickly.
Each session in this plan gives a range of set lengths. eg. 3-6 x 100m gives you the option of completing 3 x 100m if you are a developing swimmer and 6 x 100 if you are a fit/fast swimmer. If you are a less developed swimmer you do the minimum option. Elite swimmers complete the longer option. The sessions are based on your own pace and developing your own speed and endurance.
Training peaks shows the maximum time and distance, please disregard this if you are a developing swimmer as there are easier options for you!
The plan includes key testing and how to use the results from the testing in your sessions going forward.
This plan includes 5-6 pool sessions a fortnight with one open water swim a month (with pool alternative). It includes a race day and taper.
Please look under the work outs for help with terminology and exercise descriptions.

Energise Coaching - triathlon, running, swimming.
I believe in sustainable training around living life. I see too many people burning out when age group athletes should be able to enjoy their sport, have time for other things, while still seeing solid performance gains. I offer personalised training programs & coaching or group coaching services to swimmers, triathletes and runners to suit lifestyle and performance goals.
