Overview
This is a beginner swim-specific threshold boosting plan designed to help swimmers or triathletes improve their threshold fitness. This training plan is prescribed and individualized based on subjective effort and Rating of Perceived Exertion (1-10 scale) and assumes that an athlete has the equipment and pool access necessary to swim. This plan is designed for athletes that have minimal history of consistent swim training, but for athletes that have the ability and basic competency to swim without pain, to swim at least 500 yds straight non-stop, and to complete swim sessions that range from 2000-3000 yds. This is plan that can be utilized during the off-season to improve swim-specific threshold fitness or during any period of the year in which the athlete would want to increase threshold fitness for a competitive event.
Additionally, this plan can also be used in conjunction with other training sessions you may have as a swimmer (e.g., strength sessions, cross-training sessions, etc.) or as a multi-sport athlete (e.g., run sessions, bike sessions, strength sessions, etc.). However, it can also be done as a stand-alone training plan if that is how you prefer to utilize it.
Basic equipment needed to successfully complete the swim sessions within this training plan include:
-swimsuit
-goggles
-kickboard
-fins
-snorkel
-paddles
-ankle strap
