3 workouts with 6x sets for swimming

These workouts are organized in distance and swimming speed.

We leave you an interesting training for swimming with sets of 6, which will make you improve your performance in the pool.

As there is no one swimmer the same as another, we have selected 3 difficulty levels so that you can do them all depending on your level.

Be free to change one for another, modify them although always keep the structure of the session.
