Test Your Swim Speed With This 8×100 Set

Bright pacing is the most difficult thing for most swimmers to grab and must be trained. The first time you swim this test set, you may not have the ability to keep your rate the entire time that is consistent. Don’t stress! After a number of times, it'll feel more easy as you gain strength. Being able to swim as quickly in your eighth 100 as you did on your first takes power!

Test Set

Warm-up
400 swim, 300 kick and 200 pull
8×50 on 15 seconds rest at a build effort (starting slower and increasing speed throughout the 50 yards)

Main Set
8×100 on 3:00

Below are some guidelines:
1. This is a Best Rate Typical set, meaning you take when you are done the average of the eight swims. The slowest and the fastest swim shouldn’t differ by more than three seconds.
2. You must take the full rest, even if you can swim 1:00 for your 100s.
3. Focus on your own sort as you start to falter and think less about turnover and muscling your way. When fatigue levels grow form that is good should endure.
4. Be sure your turn at the wall on swim number eight is not as bad as it was on swim number one.
5. Push-offs count for free rate make them count.
Having the ability to pull off a pace that is sound and carrying this out set at a high rate of speed reaches two abilities that are crucial at the same time. With your only targets being to consistent times, think of these like 400s on the course and do thus as quickly as possible. Keeping these 100s within three seconds when you are emotionally and physically spent requires great ability.
Getting a lot of rest on this set will permit you to go for broke and most likely you’ll swim your 100s faster than you ever have before. Not only is this a boost for your own self-assurance; it will even instruct you to swim faster.
