Don’t just swim 50’s and 100’s. Mix it up with some longer and shorter distances.

Swim “your race” once a week with or without a start. This is critical to learning how you want to swim it. ESPECIALLY FOR DISTANCE AND IM SWIMMERS!!
I swim the mile/500/800(1000). The best thing I’ve ever done is start swimming those distances race paced or just straight at a decent pace once a week at the minimum. This will help build up endurance, confidence in counting (count it yourself), and help to develop a race plan.
