These workouts were provided by a good friend and legendary Olympic Trialist, Kenny Crapse!
Feel free to pick and choose between the workouts- grab a random warmup, a random work set and a random cooldown.
*Workouts have been modified because I can't throw down as many yards as the kids he coaches. 😬

IM- Individual Medley- Fly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Freestyle

Fartlek- I only added this because its a funny word. The idea is swim, with random bursts of speed.
"Stroke"- any stroke but freestyle
Build- start slower, get faster as you go, end fast
Maximize Distance per Stroke- see how few strokes it takes to get across the pool, without awkwardly pausing.
