Triathlon Swim Workouts: Sprint Distance Triathlon 12-Week Plan

Sprint distance triathlons can vary in length, but usually the swim is between 400-750 meters (500-1000 yards). The most common is 750 meters, so the plan is designed for this distance (if your race is smaller you will just be in that much better shape! Or you can adjust the length of the workouts according to your specific race). However you go about it, if you follow the general format of each workout, you will find yourself in excellent shape for your chosen event 12 weeks or more out.

If the first couple of weeks seem daunting, start with several pool sessions consisting of drills only, and work your way up to longer distances.

Have fun!
