Swim workouts

Beginner threshold swim workout

A threshold swim is a hard session: repeats close to the fastest pace you can hold over a long swim, with short rests between them. This version is for beginners, swimmers who are starting to train with a plan. Times are based on 2:15 per 100 m, the engine’s default pace for this level. Available here: 30, 45 or 60 minutes in a 25 m or 50 m pool.

These are real workouts, made in advance by the SwimSensei engine for a fixed set of choices. In the app, the engine builds every workout around the swimmer who will swim it.
