Good Morning
It has been suggested to me to incorporate a T-30 swim into my overall workout plans. Has anyone used this swim as a basis for setting up their workouts? What has been your experience? Any thoughts welcome.

We did them a while back to identify our aerobic threshhold. That is the fastest pace we could maintain without building lactate and helps you identify aerobic vs non aerobic paces.
My own experience was that after 20 minutes my forearms would go numb. That meant that I was not relaxing my arms during the recovery, not getting enough circulation for best results. Thought I was a distance swimmer.
Pretty boring set, and I don't see that happening much any more with the coaches we've had.
