A workout menu for independent swimmers

Cori Linder organizes 120 pool workouts around distinct aims, including endurance, sprint training, recovery, technique, and sessions using gear. The recipe-style format makes it possible to select a set by training goal or available time, while optional adjustments account for energy level and equipment. Pacing cues and coaching insights accompany the workouts, giving the book a practical structure for planning solo swims. Its scope spans varied training priorities, from building consistency to refining technique, without requiring every session to follow the same pattern.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Lap swimmers seeking structured sessions to use independently
  • Former competitors returning to the pool or triathletes working on technique
  • Recreational swimmers aiming for more consistent or varied workouts

It's the go-to motivational companion for swimming better, longer, and more often--on one's own terms.
