Swim workout - Interval Style

I tried to incorporate the Interval training style into a Swim workout this morning... It worked!

Warm Up: 200M (that's 4 laps)
Speed Trials: 200M (Under 3:30) x 2 (With 1 min rest in between)
Speed Trial: 100M (Under 1:30) x 2 (With 45 Sec Rest in between)
Speed trial: 50m (Under :40) x 4 (with 45 sec. Rest)
Cool down: 200M

total Distance 1200M (0.75 mile)
total Time: 25 min.

Then to the steam room for a great Stretch and Detox.

Try it with shorter distances or Slower times if you need to... a 2 min 100M is a very respectable time for an average swimmer.

Try and get a total of 800M in regardless. most Local Sprint Triathlons are anywhere between 400m and 800m swim distances (8-16 laps)
