Swim Game 2022

Enter down, Pull Straight Back, Elbow OVER Wrist

When I came back to structured training in May, I tried to get back into swimming.

Didn’t work!

  • Too much
  • Too fast
  • Exhausting

I was not enjoying my workouts and, when I caught COVID, I had the perfect excuse to take a “short break” from swimming.

Going to try again and share that process with you.

Here’s the game

  • Three swims a week
  • Ten weeks
  • First 5 weeks no swim longer than 1500 meters

The idea:

  1. Build a habit of getting to the pool
  2. Leave while we’re still having fun
  3. Associate “fun” with “pool” in our brains!

Habit + Fun = Sustainable Consistency

Workouts for the following week will be posted IN THIS DOC by Sunday evening.

Next week’s workouts are live, with tips for Head Position and Breathing.

Each two week block is going to have a theme:

  • Head Position & Relaxation
  • Swing Recovery & Entry
  • Backstroke & Pull Pattern
  • Extend continuous duration
  • Change speed within the continuous duration

Along the way, I’ll help you learn

  • Your Swim Paces
  • Swim Lingo

To Start… SLOW DOWN and LEAVE THE WATER WHILE YOU ARE HAVING FUN
