1 Overview
Swimming has long been used as a low-impact warm-up before weight training, and as a standalone workout on rest days. Every stroke is done as equally as possible, to balance the use of each muscle group.
2 Set training, next
When a proper water-safe watch is bought, set data will be recorded for \(5 \times 50\) m, \(10 \times 50\) m and \(5 \times 100\) m. Each repeat is to be completed within a preset time window (for example, 48 s for each 50 m), and the remaining time is used for rest.
3 The high-school rivalry
This kind of training was used often in high school, where Liam and Owen were rivals who competed in the 50 m freestyle and the 50 m butterfly. Their best times are below.
| Event | Liam | Owen |
|---|---|---|
| 50 m freestyle | 27.09 s | 26.99 s |
| 50 m butterfly | 32.60 s | 33.80 s |
