This is a good set for triathletes in training. We have a number of AR (active recovery) elements incorporated, so important in triathlon swimming, including the Intermediate set kick-swim sequence and Main Set 400, 50-50, Swim-AR sequence. Use the 4 x 100 in the Main Set to reinforce your target 100 swim time. Enjoy!
