Swim Sessions: Threshold

Here are a selection of threshold-based sessions for you to have a look at.

If I had to describe threshold swimming, it would be holding a comfortably-hard (7/10) pace for anywhere between 1000 – 3000 metres.

It is a pace which feels relatively comfortable for a single rep, but proves challenging when doing a larger set.

Is there a better swim set in swimming?

Swimming strong but staying fresh!

This session plays around with rest intervals, asking you to swim strong with different amounts of rest.

High pace, short rest!

Hold a strong pace, but reduce the rest. It gets challenging!

It is a good threshold type session – it will have you working hard, but the pace is (just about) sustainable.

A session where you are not swimming particularly fast, but the lack of rest takes it’s toll and your heart rate climbs through the set.

Working hard over a variety of distances!

A different type of threshold set – with lots (and lots) of strong 25s!
