In this Swimfit Speed Session we will practice sprinting with restricted breathing. The fewer breaths you take in a sprint, the faster you will be. But if you don't breathe enough, you will struggle towards the end... So lets practice holding our breath and see how far we can push it.
If you're training by yourself, please be careful with this session. Challenge yourself, but don't push it too far!
Descend means that you go faster each 150. Number 1 is easy, number 2 a bit faster etc.
