Six Week Swim Focus.
Whether you're sharpening your swim before a key race or giving your stroke the attention it's been asking for, this block is built around the 1900m half-distance swim. Four to five structured sessions a week, each one designed with a specific neuromuscular and metabolic purpose. Technique days build the wiring. Pace days calibrate the engine. SPL days make every stroke count. Complete this plan and You WILL swim better faster.
How's It Work?
Week 1 starts with a CSS test: your Critical Swim Speed is the threshold pace that anchors every set for the next six weeks. Structured workouts based on your pace, layering specificity each week:
- Technique sessions sharpen your catch, build body rotation, and lock in front quadrant timing
- Pace work descends toward race pace and beyond
- SPL reps strengthen your pull phase, tracking stroke efficiency, not just fitness
- Week 6 is test week: reduced volume, 1900m time trial, measure what you built
Structured workouts sync to your Garmin or Wahoo. Your watch tells you when to go. The workout descriptions tell you why.
What's In The Box
- CSS test, two time trials, drill prescriptions in every swim, progressive OW skills
- Tempo blocks, threshold touches, neuromuscular activation — all FTP-based
- Long runs, strides, steady state efforts, bike-to-run bricks
- Strength and mobility sessions for durability
Who Should Buy This

Hi, I'm Ramin — UESCA-certified Triathlon Coach and Endurance Sports Nutritionist, USAT Level 1, and the person behind Predictive Coaching. I grew up in the water and on my dad's cycling routes, spent years in software, and returned to endurance sport in 2009. 15+ years racing from 5K to 70.3 — multiple AG wins, several overall wins, consistent podiums. BQ'd twice, almost certainly KQ'd — but I had a habit of leaving before awards, so I'll never know. The journey is the pursuit.
