2 Top Swim Workouts for Triathletes

Previously, I wrote a run workout column and an indoor trainer column. To those seeking logical order, it makes sense that I include a swimming column in this buffet of workouts.

Some Masters swim programs don't include workouts geared specifically for triathletes, instead focusing training toward Masters swim meets. I'm sad for those triathletes because a good coach and Masters group can make swimming more enjoyable. In addition to the fun-factor, a good coach can help your swim efficiency and improve your pace.

If you use a coach and the workouts in the column look fun, take a copy to your next swim practice. If you don't swim with a Masters group—no worries—you can still do a couple of my favorite swim workouts on your own or with your swim buddies.
