Hello,
I swam competitive in high school back in the day (Graduated in 1988). I’m training for a triathlon with a .92 mile swim. I’d love some suggestions for endurance type building workouts. I can start mixing in speed work once I get my base up. My stroke is still pretty good but I get tired pretty fast. Today I did:
200 warm up
5x200
5x100
200 cool down
If it makes a difference my old PR’s (all in yards & 20 yrs ago) are around:
50 free 22 seconds
100 free 52 seconds
200 IM 2:02
100 Back 59 seconds
Any help would be greatly appreciated J
Go to the forum jump at the bottom of the page and jump to the workout section. Some of the workouts may be more than you want to handle right now so scale back the # of reps and adjust the intervals to yur ability.
You can also check daily blogs and pull workouts from most of them.
Have Fun :D

Thats a pretty good starting yet. I know a lot of people hate to work on drills, but this would probably be a good time to toss them in. Try..
300 Easy (75 Fr, 75 Ba, 50 Fr, 50 Ba, 25 Left Only Free, 25 RO Free)
200 Kick w/ fins (This will bring some strength into play)
4*50 SC, -1
4*100 SKDS Fr
Drills- #1 Straight Arm #2 3-6-3 # 3 People Paddle or Scull # 4 6 Beat
(Just basic drills to get you back into the swing of things)
3*150 Pull No paddles yet
Breathing 3,5,5 by 50
200 Long Strokes - cool down
All on a :30 Base or adjust to whichever you need. Goodluck
