# Advanced Swim Workout PDF — 3000m Controlled CSS 200s

A threshold session for experienced swimmers with a recent CSS benchmark and sufficient training volume.

Who this session suits

For swimmers with a recent 200/400 CSS test and experience completing about 2000m of threshold intervals. CSS estimates a starting pace; check effort and split stability. If two repeats slip more than 3 seconds per 100m or stroke control breaks down, add recovery and reduce the remaining repeats. This tolerance is a coaching choice. Short version: four 200s per round gives 2600m.

Breathe as often as needed; no compulsory sprint finish.
