Swimmers - Help with workout for DH

[bluelikejazz]

DH is coming swimming with me tonight, and I'm trying to write a workout for him. I don't think he'll be able to go further than 500 or so. Here's what I'm thinking:

WU: 50 Free/50 Back
4x25 kick (rest :30)
4x25 drill (hands on kickboard-breathing drill, rest :30)
4x25 swim (rest :30)
WD: 50 kick/50 swim

Thoughts?

Looks good to me! Do you have access to pull buoys for him to use? That might be something else to switch it up.

Good call. I do have a pull bouy he can use! (I hope he doesn't mind a pink one )

I think that's great. If he does want to go farther, you can have him repeat the WO with shorter rests - doing it on :20 rest and then on :10 rest - if he wants to, that is.

Very true. I will suggest it if he finishes while I'm still swimming. However, based on the last effort he did, I'm guessing he'll opt for the hot tub instead of more swimming Maybe next time!
