HIIT For Swimmers

Updated: Oct 28, 2020

Type: High-intensity interval training

Muscle groups targeted: Full body

Equipment: None, but a mat is recommended

Length: 29 - 32 minutes


This week, the workout is based on improving swimming performance but can be a tough HIIT workout for non-swimmers too! This HIIT routine targets the full body in just 30 minutes and also includes an added core focus! The power focused exercises like jump squats and jumping lunges can help improve flip turns and explosiveness off of the blocks. We have included links for exercises and colour coordinated rest times for beginner, intermediate and advanced exercisers.
