Swimming improves core, muscular, and cardiovascular strength and

endurance, all in a low-impact, gravity-free workout. If done two to

several times per week, or as an addition to a multi-sport training

regime, swimming helps maintain a healthy weight, heart, and lungs.

These benefits are best realized within the diversity of your workouts.

To increase your swim fitness it is optimal to vary intensity, interval

distances, recovery, and strokes, all within one workout session. The

diversity within a workout is what triggers the body to grow stronger,

faster, and more proficient.

Whether you only have time to swim 1000

meters/yards, or are up for 5000 at each session, The Swimmer's Workout Handbook organizes speed, distance, and technique into these 100 fun and

challenging training sessions-putting vitality back into your pool time.
