This training plan is for a Half Distance or 70.3 distance triathlon. Athlete should have some basic fitness behind them and be able to swim comfortably for 500m in a pool. This plan is specific for someone who has a good background in swimming before starting this plan as the swim training sessions are directed towards someone who is able to swim around 2 minutes for 100 metres(100 yards).
A large portion of the training in this plan is time based, meaning there is a lot less pressure on the athlete to be covering a certain amount of distance in training sessions, but instead the athlete is to spend "time" on their feet. This will help them get a better feel for intensities and help an intermediate athlete get ready for a 70.3 Ironman Triathlon.
