This set mixes together race pace swimming, aerobic maintenance, and high intensity kicking to create a very challenging 2400 yard set. The set moves through three rounds of varying distances and intensities, always beginning with 300 yards of aerobic cruise before moving into 100’s race pace and ending with a 200 fast kick.

The aerobic work should be on a moderate interval that gives your athletes roughly :10-:15 seconds rest per 100, while the race pace work can be on a relatively softer interval to let your athletes really get up to race speeds.

The added component of this set that takes it to the next level is the addition of the fast kicking after each set of race pace swims. Give your athletes an extra 30 seconds reset after their last race pace 100 and then challenge them to grab a kickboard and time their 200’s to see what they can maintain throughout the set. Happy swimming!
