Today was a better swim day. Perhaps it's because the warmup set was more of a warmup set with the slower interval. It seems that I require a good 1100 yards to really get ready to crush my times. (Crush being relative, of course.) I had a really nice compliment from...

Today, I did something a little different for the 50-minute swim workout. I have to admit I'm a bit sad about my swimming lately. It's been a slog the past month or so. Whether it's the pseudo isolation of swimming a workout alone, or I'm burnt out, I don't really...

Although I worked out yesterday, I swam with the team (yay!). Coach Bill Bean gave us a great set, but, alas, I don't remember the warmup set. Perhaps I'll post it if I can remember what we did exactly. LOL As you can see from the title, today is IM day. IM day occurs...

Today was sprint emphasis. I had no sprint. I tried, but, honestly, I felt like I had someone holding on to my feet as I crawled through the water. Hopefully, this 50-minute swim workout will bring you more joy than it did me. Well, it was still a good day to be in...

If you saw my last swim workout post, you’ll have seen I broke my toe during that workout. I decided to take a day off to “baby” that toe and came back today. Usually, Thursdays are stroke technique focus, but, since I missed my mid-distance swim workout yesterday,

This is a master’s swimmer 50-minute swim workout. Designed for intermediate to advanced, it can be adjusted to work for most levels. This particular workout has unusual sets meant to challenge the brain and make it more “fun”. Be sure to adjust the intervals for your speed.

This 50-minute swim workout is breaststroke emphasis. It’s designed for intermediate-to-advanced masters swimmers who swim alone. Be sure to adjust the intervals to match your own.

Today being Friday, it was sprint emphasis day. Even though I had a day of rest, my times didn’t really show that. (Sigh) However, any day in the pool no matter how slow I swim is better than no day in the pool. 😊 I hope you enjoy this 50-minute swim workout. Obviously, you can adjust the intervals to fit your speed.

Swimming alone is hard at times. While I’m grateful for the use of the pool, I miss my swim tribe. I miss my coaches. However, like most swimmers, not swimming when you have access to a pool really isn’t an option. (Running is even less of an option if you are me. LOL) So, I swim alone and write workouts and try to vary them. Hopefully, if you’ve found my blog and these swim workouts, you’re finding them helpful and are either using them as is or cobble a few together by mixing and matching sets. Please adjust the intervals to your speed.
