12 Weeks Plan for Olympic / Sprint Swimming Success
A 12 week plan including 36 sessions that progressively help you hit your target speed in your races.
There will be a video each session to explain the focus of the session and go through each set individually to get you practicing at the right intensity and in the right way. All drills are explained, including video examples and/or demonstrations so when you get to the pool you'll be ready to swim the complete session understanding every sets aim.
The series starts at 7600m in the first week and build to 8175m before easing down to a taper of 7200m in the final week before your race.
All the videos are available on Youtube here
