Swim Workout # 13 – Freestyle – Time to go Fast!!

One of my favorite ways to work on sprints is to do sets that allow you to go as fast as you can, no holding back. Once you hit the wall, you can immediately enjoy going easy for the next 50 or 100. Instead of just resting on the wall you can recover while still being active!!
