February Challenge: Swim Faster, Swim Longer With This Workout Plan

Hello, Community!
February is here. Isn’t that kind of unbelievable? I am 50 this year and I don't need time to go this fast!

It’s time to shake up your training with a challenge designed to build endurance, improve speed, and teach you how to manage effort without stopping to rest on the wall.

I believe this challenge is both physical and mental, and this is why I love it so much.

If you’ve ever felt that you can swim fast but tire out too quickly, or that you can go long distances but struggle to pick up speed (always the same distance over time), this challenge will help bridge the gap and help you with a breakthrough.

The secret is simple and hard at the same time. Commit to the fast portions of the workout. Do it! Break through the mental barrier and put in the effort to see amazing results.

The February challenge workout

For two to three days a week, replace a regular swim session from the My Swimming Workout plan you are doing, with this 1000 yard/meter set, broken non-stop swim.

The only rule: You must keep moving at all times. No rest at the wall.

Instead of stopping at the wall to rest, you’ll slow down and recover while swimming.
