This Swimfit Speed Swim Session will push you to hold your goal pace for quite a few 50's :) You can either take this goal pace based on your 15min benchmark swim and the goal pace you set yourself or start swimming at the effort level described and try to hold your time for all 50's.
80% effort is a strong and confident pace. You will feel a bit puffed after a few, but not fully out of breath. 90% is close to your maximum speed, and as we're doing quite a few of them it will feel like your max effort pretty soon. Focus on holding your form and swimming strong! We first go through his with Freestyle Pull (no kicking!) followed by the complete Freestyle.
