Database of swim workouts?

[BCtriguy1]

I’m doing more solo swims these days and would like to have access to a list of workouts, preferably ones I can bang out in 30-45 minutes.

Does something like this exist online?

I find a lot of inspiration in the monthly swim thread, this page from Magnolia Masters Workouts – Open Water Swim Club , and Gordo Byrn’s swim set google doc Copy of Copy of Gordo's Swims - Google Docs

I’m guessing it wouldn’t make much sense for you to get a USMS membership, but if you have one, they have an extensive workout database.

Post your favorite main sets please. (swimming)

I thought I’d try to start a bit of a repository for good sets. I see a lot of good ones in the monthly ST swim club thread, but they easily get lost in there. This is a friendly place to share your faves, either yours or others you see that you like the idea of. Not the whole workout, just the main set, and try to scale so it’s easy to fit into a typical triathlete or masters workout, which is around 3000 m / yards total. So if the main set is between 1000 and 2000, that would be about right i…

Thanks for sharing. That is a great thread to revive, lots of ideas in there. Most of those sets are going to help check a lot of Filliol’s 20 rules as well, just to reference that current thread Joel Filliol, shag, marry or kill

Yes indeed, that was a great thread, and I guess I missed it first time around. Going through it I found this workout the most interesting, and will do it as a challenge set soon. You start a 200 on the 4 minutes, and reduce rest by 15 seconds each time around, until you miss the interval. Then on the one you miss, you do a 150 and continue to reduce rest by 15 seconds. Once missed again, go to 100’s until you are done..

I’m going to name this one Frog in the pot. It’s a slow heat up until the water boils, then boils again, and then again!!! Sounds super fun, I will do it as a pull set and see how far I can get..
