ISO Low Yardage/Short on Time Workout Resources?

35SM5
1 month ago

I'm an adult learned swimmer and did triathlon in my 40s, 2020 Brought a series of life changes along with covid and knocked out my triathlon for now. At 53 I have issues with my knees and may never get back to that. I subscribe to the weekly workouts but am nowhere near that level - I do not have 1 1/2 hours to do any exercise due to work and family commitments. I'm looking for a good 30-45 minute workout plan for two morning swims, with a longer one possible (but keep to 45-60) on Saturday. It's frustrating that this website has three beginner workouts and then, in my opinion, absolutely nothing intermediate. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Good morning.  I have found that there are a number of excellent workouts, but like you said they require a longer period of time to complete than what you have available to you.

    I will take a 3500-yard workout and pare it down to meet my limitations.  I rarely swim more than 3000 yards at a practice, so i will take a set of 10 x 100's and swim 6 or 8.  I will also vary the intervals based on my experience and capabilities.

    I would advise taking the objective of a given workout and adapt it to your individual situation.  Print it out, edit it, laminate and off to the pool you go!
