We are having a lock-down here in Singapore and we are only limited to swim 50 minutes per day in public pools. I find that doing a pyramid swim is very useful. For example you can do 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 with 15 seconds rest each set and that would be 1500 meters, about 30 minutes if you are average swimmer. If you have more them, you can then continue with 400, 300, 200, 100 and that would be 2.5k swim!
good advice. i particularly like the bit about not skipping warmup/cooldown, a thing i'm notorious for doing, even when there is no time restraints. Not sure if you guys have done one, but a video that focuses purely on warmups/cooldowns for swim, bike and run, all in the same vid, would be something i'd be keen to watch.
The three most important things in swimming are technique, technique and technique. The technique session given is fine but you do need to know why you're doing each point e.g. what are you aiming for when you scull? And why kick? Are you aiming to build kicking technique? Kicking endurance? Or (as I see a lot) just using it as an excuse for an easy time?
My Walmart trunks are the equivalent of a parachute. It takes me 40 minutes to swim 1600 meters..... Update.... in the last 3 weeks, I've increased my swimming to 90 minutes daily. Same trunks.
Thank you so much for such an informative video! please make a speed set workout for longer period! are there any gears that can improve swimming speed ?
No no no, this is nonsense. The best swimming workout you can get in 30 mins is being a trash swimmer (me) so it's not swimming, but what I call "surviving". You will hit ALL heart rate zones, be very exhausted, and probably feel it the next day... if you live. Remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
Thanks for your wise distribution of pace, from warming up to cooling down. Could you please tell us about recovery/resting after a workout, I'm 70 now... and sometimes afterwards I become a bit sleepy 😴.... that sometimes I need to take a short nap. Is it normal ? Or a premature decline of stamina. Cheers !
What exactly do you mean by swim? So for example, you say "25m as 10m Scull and 15m swim". What do you mean by "swim" here? Do you mean Front Crawl or something else?
Why do all the swim workouts seem overly complicated with so many variations of speed and techniques. Wouldn't it be better and more simple to just to do what you might do with running and do say 100m intervals with rests in between. Or variations of that. I'm struggling to find a simple workout where I don't need equipment and having to change technique every length.
How do you make the most of a short time in the pool? Do you focus on speed or technique? 🤔
Before COVID, short swims meant speed. After COVID, it’s either OWS or bike and run because our pools aren’t open yet (NYC).
4x5o worm up
main set
1x400 with 80% free style
1x400 with 80% breast strock
2x100 cool down..
A good (effective, efficient, economical) technique results to quicker sped with time.
Just go lol
30 mins at 2mins per 100
I like that your first swim sessions had drill segments. Thank you for this video.

"let's dive on in".... very good :-)
Interesting to find out how Mark gets an effective swim workout in a "Bath"
bath is a place in england for those who didn’t know
I think this guy's making a joke 😅

Nice, perfect for morning routine 👌

Watch you wear while swimming? Thanks.

This is the one
I'm just learning front crawl and this sums up my swimming session perfectly, stiff as a board today!! 😂
Great video!
That lets dive on in was smooth
❤❤❤❤

Two minutes thirty seconds into this seven-minute video about a workout routine and he still hasn't gotten to the meat of it. Amazing.
He’s doing a warm up ;-)
1500m in 30 mins! I'm in the wrong YT channel.😅
Is the speed workout not 1,450m total?

Yes! That part means front crawl
@@gtn Thank you for the clarification and fast reply!!

no
@@Extradub32p عربي مالك فايده 😂

What a bunch of nonsense.
If you have 30 minutes.
Warm up
Swim 1500m at race pace, concentrating on technique
Cool down
Hit the showers.
@Tony not really
Haha I've just seen this. I assume it's tongue in cheek, but good luck with that approach
That tan though
Paskal do 600 meter under 30 minute
Gg
