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

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
