Why Swim Workouts To Go?
Swimming is an excellent form of exercise that can be beneficial to many people throughout their lives. To receive the full health and wellness benefits of swimming, it can be important to train different energy systems in a balanced way.
The Swim Workouts To Go app posts new workouts to its site daily and offers both freestyle and stroke practices (see the Workout Focus section for the days of these workouts.) Written instructions are included under the Terminology page. Feel free to swim freestyle during designated stroke or stroke during freestyle sets if that better suits your training needs.
How Long Are the Workouts?
Depending on the swimmer's ability, the workouts should take between 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Most workouts average 4000-5000 yards. Where it says between 1-4 rounds, this is the logical place where swimmers with less endurance or less time to spend in the water can limit the practice.
Who writes the workouts?

Abe, a former Olympic Trials competitor in Triathlon, a collegiate varsity swimmer and a long time masters swimmer and coach, has 20 years of experience training athletes at all levels.
