Swim Workout #31 – Freestyle – 50s Fast / Easy
I think it is time to get in some sprinting. My specialty was sprinting in college and 50’s alternating fast and easy are my favorite! They really help you practice feeling various speeds. Swimming isn’t fun if you just stay at one steady pace. Get out there and go!!
