Workout Wednesday: Swimming With Pure Endurance

Newer swimmers often get in the pool and just swim at one pace that is neither easy nor hard enough to improve endurance or speed. Find yourself in a swim rut? Try mixing up the intensities a bit to spice up those swim workouts. Plus it helps the time in the pool go faster! Happy swimming! 🤠

This is a great session for starting to add some intensity into your swim sessions. For more experienced swimmers the 100's in the main set can be exchanged for 200's and the fast 25's changed to 50's

Thanks to coaches Jon and Kristen of @Pure_endurance for this awesome swim workout!
