Week 1-3
SwimFast Training Suite
Ideally, try to get those three workouts per week in (an endurance, a technique and a strength session per week), with at least one day of recovery between each session. Repeat these workouts for at least three weeks.
If you feel comfortable, progress to the next block. If a workout is too hard, feel free to shorten the sets, increase the rest intervals or lower the flywheel resistance.
Never compromise form and technique (high elbow catch and acceleration through the pull).
