Today was sprint emphasis. I had no sprint. I tried, but, honestly, I felt like I had someone holding on to my feet as I crawled through the water. Hopefully, this 50-minute swim workout will bring you more joy than it did me. Well, it was still a good day to be in...

If you saw my last swim workout post, you’ll have seen I broke my toe during that workout. I decided to take a day off to “baby” that toe and came back today. Usually, Thursdays are stroke technique focus, but, since I missed my mid-distance swim workout yesterday,

This is a master’s swimmer 50-minute swim workout. Designed for intermediate to advanced, it can be adjusted to work for most levels. This particular workout has unusual sets meant to challenge the brain and make it more “fun”. Be sure to adjust the intervals for your speed.

This 50-minute swim workout is breaststroke emphasis. It’s designed for intermediate-to-advanced masters swimmers who swim alone. Be sure to adjust the intervals to match your own.

Today being Friday, it was sprint emphasis day. Even though I had a day of rest, my times didn’t really show that. (Sigh) However, any day in the pool no matter how slow I swim is better than no day in the pool. 😊 I hope you enjoy this 50-minute swim workout. Obviously, you can adjust the intervals to fit your speed.

Swimming alone is hard at times. While I’m grateful for the use of the pool, I miss my swim tribe. I miss my coaches. However, like most swimmers, not swimming when you have access to a pool really isn’t an option. (Running is even less of an option if you are me. LOL) So, I swim alone and write workouts and try to vary them. Hopefully, if you’ve found my blog and these swim workouts, you’re finding them helpful and are either using them as is or cobble a few together by mixing and matching sets. Please adjust the intervals to your speed.

This particular swim workout is more out of the box and less yardage. Please feel free to adjust the intervals as massage the sets as you see fit. These workouts are meant to be inspirations for the master’s swimmers who find themselves swimming alone and limited to shorter time slots that in pre-COVID times. Or, if you have unlimited pool use, combine some of the workouts. Above all keep swimming.

Now that I’m swimming alone, due to COVID, I’ve had to be more creative with my swim workouts as I no longer have a coach. Being limited to 50-minutes (or less) has made it even more challenging. This is the first 50-minute swim workout I’m posting. Hopefully, this will help inspire other swimmers who’ve found themselves without their tribe (masters team mates and coach). Today’s swim workout is backstroke emphasis.

A 50-minute technique swim workout for masters swimmers who are swimming alone and are intermediate/advance level. Please adjust your interval time to reflect your speed. Add, delete, alter as you see fit. You can also lift the whole workout and do as is.
