If you are a swimmer looking for an excellent workout, then your search is over. Coach Roman Willets shares one hundred Athlete Approved swimming workouts.

These swim practices are geared towards casual fitness swimmers, masters swimmers, age group swimmers, triathletes, and anyone looking for a great workout. These swim sets range between 2,500 – 3,000 yards.

Adjust the intervals on these swim sets as needed to fit your individual level. You can also complete these in pools that are 25 or 50 meters.

Here are a few bullet points to guide you through 100 Swim Workouts:

  • Spiciness Scale: Each swimming workout is rated on a scale of 1 to 5 peppers. 1 pepper signifies an easy, recovery workout. 5 Peppers signifies an extremely difficult workout. The average across our 100 swim workouts ranges between 3.5 to 5.0. We did not offer and 1 or 2 pepper workouts through the book: This was intentional. If you’ve made it all the way to the pool, we might as well get some good work in!
  • Easy: This is a relaxed effort, typically following a more difficult swim. Swimmers can assume any warm up or cool down is swum with an “easy” effort unless otherwise noted.
  • Moderate: 70-75% effort. This is a higher effort than easy swimming, but still could be held for up to 60 minutes or more.
  • Hard: 80-85% effort. This is a step up from moderate effort. Swimming at a “hard” effort is still paced. It can be maintained for several hundred yards at a time.
  • Fast: 90-95% effort. Nearly a maximum effort. “Fast” swimming will be seen general in repetitions of 1-2 within a workout, following up with one of the lighter efforts listed above. This is an un-paced effort.
  • Fast!: 100% effort. This is not an effort you’ll see on every workout. When you do, it will only be asked for 1 repetition.
  • S.K.I.P.S.: Specific order of 100s, typically seen in warm up. S = Swim Choice, K = Kick Choice, I = IM, P = Pull, S= Swim Stroke.
  • FRIM: Variation of an “IM” called Freestyle IM. The order of strokes here is Free-Back-Breast-Free.
  • BBF: B =Back B = Breast F = Free.
  • DAB: Double Arm Backstroke.
