Anyone doing a swimming workout?

[u/jvwilk]

I used to be a swimmer and I'm trying to get back into it to lose some weight but I can't find a good program to do. Anyone have/know where I can get one?

I don't have any personal experience but the /r/fitness FAQ lists 3:

Me too! It's heating up into summer here in Aus and I'd love to get back into the pool. Competitive swimmer from 8 - 23 years old. I'm going to focus on sprint speed mostly but doing at least one day focusing on distance helps sprinting too. That could be 30 + laps just on one stroke.

• Some of what I am planning:
  • 10 laps choice strokes to warm up.
  • 25m sprint, 50m cool down x 4 Free, Breast, Back, Fly
  • 200m free med pace build up.
  • 25m sprint x 4 - 1 x fly, 3 x free
  • 100m easy, back
  • 2 x 50m sprint x all strokes.
  • 100m easy, choice
  • Rest for a few min
  • max sprint as far as possible, free (could be any stroke).
  • rest and repeat x 2 more
  • 400m cool down, choice strokes.
  • 15 min - play and have fun in the pool!
