Swim workout (1400m) -> training for a 200 meter race

This workout is designed to train for a 200 meter swim race. 200 meter races can be tricky (at least Ive always thought they were; being a 100 meter sprinter) as they are a longer distance sprint event. This workout can be done in whatever stroke you are working on.

Warm up

100 meters (m) swim
50m drill
50m kick

Main set 

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.

4x50m Sprint with 15 sec rest

2x100m sprint with 20 sec rest

200m race pace 30 sec rest

2x 100m sprint with 20 sec rest

4x50m sprint with 15 sec rest

Warm down 

200m easy swim

Total: 1400 m practise
