I guess you want to practice leaving the water (swim chute)
Race simulation swim sessions are a great way to prepare for the race season. This is an ideal time to develop an efficient race day warm up. Here is a sample session for an Olympic distance race simulation.
-> 5 min easy swimming with 3-5 x 10 second pickups.
-> 5 min standing on beach to simulate race meeting before start.
-> Sprint into water and swim 500 meters (250m out around a buoy and back), and finish with a run 30m up the beach.
-> Rest 3 minutes, and repeat swim sequence 2 more times.
-> End session with 3-5 min. easy swimming, and taking wetsuit off as you would in transition.
Total workout time is 35 to 40 minutes.
