Chlorine is my perfume (5)

I am neither pro swimmer nor doctor, so you are following my advice on your own risk. For better understanding, read my Quick Reference first.

  • Warm-Up: 100K, 50B, 50R (2x)
  • 8x25K-sprint (12.5 sprint, then stop, then sprint the other 12.5)
  • 100 corkscrew swimming (alternate rotation so you hopefully don’t get sick)
  • 25 corkscrew sprint
  • 10x25S (focus on technique)
  • 400K (with flip turns)
  • 25 diving
  • 25 diving without using the arms, only doing dolphinkicks
  • Cool down: 125K

(Total: 1550m)

And here’s the way to get there (or, at least, a good part of the way): the Top 4 Butterfly Mistakes and how to avoid them.
