Swim Workout #57 – Choice – Distance Shifts

Good Morning! Today’s set is pretty exciting with distance splits. It will keep you moving with different distances and speed. Try out the diving at the end if you need a little practice for an upcoming swim meet. I’m not sure about you, but when I was a kid diving from the block at practice was such a treat! But please use caution on your dives! Enjoy!
