My background: I started swiming at 2 y.o. and stoped at 15 y.o. However i never trained seriouslly, just swimed one hour per week. Played soccer for many years, then when i was around 20y.o. after an injury switched to powerlifting and more recently started learning some Oly.Lifting. (and currently i am training for those) Right now i am 23 y.o. (so i stoped swiming for arount 8 years)
However, a couple of weeks ago i decided to go swim to test myself in a 25 meter pool and managed to clock 14 secs without dive(freestyle), which isn't as bad as i spected. I am traning now 3 times pero week, focusing pretty much only in 50m freestyle since i dont realy have time for more. (powerlifting/OL+graduate studies..)
So the question is, what would be an apropiate workout? Right now i am doing 25m sprints with decent rest in between and some aditional low intensity work to improve my resistance and focus on techninque.
Thanks!
If you just walked into the pool with no history of serious swim training and no swim training at all for 8 years, then proceeded to rip off a 14 second 25M swim from an in-water start, you are a tremendous natural talent. Quit messing around on your own and find yourself a good coach.
