How Do I know How Fast to Swim?

Workout Purpose

Your plan includes swim workouts designed to improve your aerobic, anaerobic and muscular endurance, as well as technique and speed skills.

To do this we use 5 Training Zones to structure the workouts. In the first week of your plan, you will see a key swim fitness test to determine your threshold and training zones.

Following Workouts

You can follow your swim workouts using either Critical Swim Speed (CSS) or Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) as a measure of intensity.

You will need to follow swim workouts from Phil's hand-typed description. Check the article below for more on how to do this.

Following Your Swim Sets

Enter Your Threshold and Zones

It is important for you to have your swim threshold speed (CSS) and training zones set up correctly.

You will need to have entered your CSS into your TrainingPeaks settings to see the planned distance and duration for your planned swim workouts.

Exporting Workouts

Unlike the bike and run workouts in your plan, you are unable to export swim workouts to your devices. We hope that Garmin and TrainingPeaks will make this possible soon.
