I'm relatively new to swimming and I'm facing a dilema: as bike racing season begins I need to cut back on my swimming, but I don't want to lose all progress I've made over the winter.
I'm not worried about losing fitness so much as technique. For that matter, I don't want to tire myself enough to hinder other training. So what would be my best bet for just three hours a week or so of swimming? Slow short sets and drills?
Any ideas would be a help. Thanks.
You can get alot done in an hour, three times a week. An hour will give you 2600 to 3600 yds, so you would have time to warm up, drill and do a quality set or two, three times a week. That should be OK for maintaining some level of swim ability and would certainly maintain your technique.
