Plan 1. Olympic / Half-Ironman 70.3 Triathlon Preparation
(35 Sessions / 11 Weeks)
(35 Sessions / 11 Weeks)
Perfect swimming preparation for your Olympic and Half-IM race season. Also great for sprint triathlon training.
This plan contains 32 pool sessions plus 3 optional open water technique sessions to get you in peak shape for your big race. Simply keep the plan in your swimming bag, pull it out when you get to the pool and follow the next session - we've done all the organising for you!
There are three levels of this plan to choose from:
- Level 1 is for swimmers in the 7:45 to 12:00 range for a 400m swim. Each session is approximately 2200m per session, we'll nurture your technique and provide you with plenty of fitness challenges along the way!- Level 2 is swimmers around the 6:00 to 7:40 mark for 400m (swam fast). Each session is approximately 2700m and will direct and challenge you - giving you the perfect mix of training and technique to get you into top shape for your triathlon season.- Level 3 is for strong swimmers who swim sub 6 minutes for 400m. Each session is 3000+m in length. As an advanced swimmer you may feel you need to swim further than this but these sessions are highly focused and avoid 'junk yardage'. Exactly what you need to keep you motivated and gap the field.
The plan is designed around three swim workouts a week, meaning it will run for 11 weeks. Alternatively, the plan will still work very nicely if you prefer to swim twice or four times per week.
* If you've completed the training plan in our DVD Boxset, this is the ideal follow-on for your race season. 35 all new sessions specifically for Olympic and Half-IM Distance preparation. *

Plan 2. Iron Distance Triathlon Preparation
(35 Sessions / 11 Weeks)
(35 Sessions / 11 Weeks)
Our specific swimming preparation plan for Ironman distance with a greater endurance focus for the longer distance. Strike the perfect balance between stroke technique, speed and endurance training.
This plan contains 32 pool sessions plus 3 optional open water technique sessions to get you in peak shape for your big race. Slot in the open water sessions when it's convenient for you.
The guidelines for choosing from the 3 levels of plan are the same as for the Olympic plan above. The plan contains a longer weekly swim that builds up to 4000m in length, other sessions are shorter, focusing on your stroke technique and speed, typically: Level 1: 2300m, Level 2: 2700m, Level 3: 3100m.
We recommend you follow this plan with three swim workouts a week, meaning it will run for 11 weeks. However, the plan will also run very nicely if you prefer to swim twice or four times per week.
We've carefully taken into account the overall training load for an Ironman - the sessions are designed to develop your swimming but still leave you with plenty left over for your lengthy run and bike sessions.
