Beginner Swimming Plan - Week 10
Share

Welcome to Week 10!

If you are reading this workout, it is because you are interested in a simple, easy-to-swim but very effective plan (aka. structured by a coach), so you can easily get in the pool and swim.

Each week you will have 3 workouts to choose from. Ideally, you will do them serially (1, then 2, then 3). If you swim more than 3 days per week, go 1, 2, etc.

As mentioned in the introduction, independent of your age, and especially if you are over 40, I highly recommend adding 1 or 2 Strength and Mobility workouts during the week. I can’t stress this enough. Plan available here for both Gym and Home

When you feel tired, and your head is not helping you to wake up and swim, just bring back memories of how you feel AFTER a swim

Hey!!!!

I received a couple of emails telling me that I was overcomplicating this plan! If that is true, I apologize. I am always willing to increase your challenge, but I agree with you that this is the beginner's plan.

NEVER STOP giving me feedback. I appreciate it and you help me to be better every day.

Thank you!

Week 10

Warm-Up (500 yards):

  • 200 yards freestyle

  • 100 flutter kick with board

Main Set (800 yards)
