Plan Description
13 week swim plan perfect for athletes looking to be able to swim a half distance swim comfortably and/or quickly. Fantastic standalone swim program for those wanting to improve their swimming speed and endurance.
This plan is ideal for those athletes completing their first half distance or those wanting to improve their swim leg, from those beginner / intermediate age group athletes, all the way through to elite athletes.
