Plan Description

As an improver level front crawl swimmer you're normal or average swim pace is between 2:15 to 3:00 minutes per 100 metres. Your focus is on improving your body position, kicking, breathing ie exhaling, breathing timing, body rotation and timing of your arms. We call this your Body Position Fundamentals. There will be other areas of technique to work on according to your own specific skills set too.

This 12 week swim training plan is designed to transform your front crawl swimming with 2 sessions a week of core strength, progressing into upper body and arms and core strength over the course of the plan

There are 2 drills and technique swim sessions per week, 2 core strength and 2 swim fitness sessions, each of which are progressive each week, so that you improve in both technique and fitness over the 12 weeks.

You'll have your own training peaks account for the duration which you can then downgrade to a basic account after the plan has ended.

This plan is for people who want to learn to swim front crawl better, with greater ease, learn how to breath comfortably, become more efficient, learn to kick rotate and use less effort generally when swimming
