Today I tried a swim interval workout for the first time, and I just have to say it really was challenging! I only swam 2600 yards in just under 50 minutes on intervals but my heart-rate was really up.
I have a new appreciation for all the swimmers out there, including my 12 year old daughter who swimms about 4,000 yards 4 nights per week.
For any one looking to cross train, this is a great work out. Perhaps there is a knowledgeable swimm type out there who can suggest a few intervals to try? (I kept it simple: 500 warm up, 10 50's kicking on 1:30, 5 100's on 2:30, 5 100's kicking on 2:30, 600 cool down. This was just hit or miss; I have no idea what to do. But my heart was pumping.
