Swimming plan

gerfmurphy

Do the swimmers on here have a definite plan to follow?
I hit the pool aim for about 2k including warm up and cool down (about 200 for each)
And I do the same thing almost every time. The odd time I will try to do some drills but it's hit and miss.
My main thing is just swim 100s or 200s at kinda Css, once a month I do a 200 and 400 to judge where I'm at.
For the 4 months I've been swimming regular it's worked ok but I feel a bit bored with it now.
Can anyone recommend a plan to follow?

I have it too. Its good if you need structure and can't create your own plans.

That sounds like it's for me.
I can't really understand the linked one. It seems complicated. I will have to google for explanations.

Hey
The top of the page has two hyperlinks, Freestyle Swimming Drills and Terms & Definitions, all the terminology mentioned in the daily set should be covered in here,
