About Master’s Swim workouts:
- A master’s swim is a continuous swim workout.
- Master’s swim workouts include a mix of drills and continuous swimming.
- A master’s swim workout is not a lesson. It is a coached swim set, with emphasis on building endurance.
- Swimmers can expect to swim an average of 1500 – 3000 meters per workout.
- Swimmers will be divided into lanes based on pace / ability. Pace lanes will range from ~1:00/100m to ~2:30/100m.
- Workouts will focus primarily on freestyle. However, all 4 swim strokes (free, fly, back, breast) may be covered. (athletes are not required to swim all 4 strokes)
- Workouts are typically 60 or 90 minutes. Athletes who are not conditioned for that duration swim are welcome to take additional rest breaks as needed, or leave the workout early until they build up endurance to swim for the full workout.
