Welcome to the "beginners" swim session...


Now swim 2km lol

[Richardangelo]

As someone who is trying to get in shape and hasn’t worked out in some time, this doesn’t seem very “beginner” friendly 😅

[fabgrz]

Just as an advice: why don’t you add swimming drills recommendations for each Set?.

Because without any drills or techniques it’s just numbers put on a video.

Each time I look for swimming plans I find the same numbers videos and no plan of drills/techniques recommended within the plan.
Just my opinion.

I'm a total beginner. What do you mean by drill and easy?

[zoyazeeshan]

Could u please do a video explaining how to do each of these sessions, as in how one should feel while performing each session and how hard we should be going as i really dont understand how to be doing these sessions

[nilusss]

I don't understand these "beginner" workouts. You want me to swim a total of 1900 meters when I can barely swim?

[mixture]

These workouts are also good for seniors like myself (I'm 70). Having been out of the pool for almost a year because of COVID-19, I'll be starting all over again with more body weight and arthritis in the elbows. It'll be frustrating since I'd been swimming masters since I left college.

Hi. Can you tell me where I can find the descriptions and details of the terminology of the different drills? Like, what exactly do they mean?

[AsdfAsdf-cwmz]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much. :)

[zoyazeeshan]

Could u guys please tell what drill and swim means???

[babahase]

You guys are nuts😂 2k for a beginners trainig???

[graciliraptor]

This video isn't too helpful, as a beginner I don't really understand all the technical words and it does get a bit overwhelming, not that I feel I can't do the workout, I just can't remember all of that

[krisztianwirsz]

This is for beginners? I mean I can swim a bit of freestyle but not continous 100s of meters. Is there anything for real beginners?

[MegaMagicbeans]

Looking forward to the GTN video of "how to get back into swimming after lockdown series" make it happen please :)

[stluciestrength]

what do you think about throwing in no breathers?Maybe 4- 8 reps x 25 yards/meters, with big fins at the bottom of the pool or surface swimming with just enough rest in between reps?Thanks

[peacockyman]

It's been way too long since I went swimming!😔 I wish the situation improves enough for the pools to open again

[mikemullane]

What beginner can do a 300 meter as a warm-up?

[gearoidoconnor]

Anyone got any links or hints for swim spa training sessions?

[edwoodall]

These drills look about right for me. Can you suggest how i might access them? I mean are they written out anywhere? Of course, i can stop the video and write it out mysel f but i was just wondering if it has been done somewhere and i am just missing it. Thanks
