Basic IM set (1700 meters)

This is my go to set when I want a basic workout while having a lot of variety. An IM (individual medley) consists of 4 strokes... butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle.

If you do not know how to do butterfly feel free to substitute that stroke with something else such as freestyle(front crawl).

Note: An interval (ex 4x50m) means you swim 50 meters take a 15 sec rest and then repeat 3 more times for a total of 4. Goals should be to maintain a constant speed throughout all of the repeats in each interval.
