This is a straight-ahead yardage workout. Not much finesse, but a lot of stroke yards done moderately hard. One thing I really like about this workout is that it does stroke work by 75s rather than by 100s. Since that's the case, you can really work on keeping your technique crisp and your turns nice and strong.

 

Warm Up: 200 Swim; 200 Kick; 200 Pull
==============================================

 (Do the following set three times: one for each stroke)

4X75 Stroke 1:30
200 Pull
4X50 Kick (stroke)

--------------------------

4X125 (50 yards for each stroke)

Only the true heros of swimming managed to show up on this dark and stormy night. This had a little bit of everything, and left us pretty tired (and heroic) when we finally completed it.

WUP: 600

=========================

3X100 fastest interval
300 Pull
300 Swim
200 Kick
9X100 2:00 Stroke (Build hundreds by 3)
200 Kick
4X125 IM (Do a standard 100 IM, but add an extra 25 for the stroke you want to work on.)

A decent early-season power workout for stroke. Vary the rest time to make harder/easier....
