## Who this workout is for
Competitive Masters swimmers, college club athletes, triathletes in a speed block, and fitness swimmers who've graduated from the intermediate plan.
This session assumes you can hold a 1:30 on 100m and know the difference between WA and SA intensity.
## Training zones used
Two main sets cover different energy systems: WA (threshold) for the 50s, SA (sprint) for the 25s. Warmup and cooldown are GA1 and ReKom. Zone labels are printed next to every block so you know exactly what each rep should feel like.
## Free vs Premium
The PDF prints clean and watermark-free.
If you want structured intervals on your Garmin watch — with heart-rate targets, stroke detection, and rest prompts — Premium (€9/month, 14-day free trial) includes FIT export.
## How to use it
Treat this as a once-weekly key session. Pair it with two easier 2000m sessions and one technique day for a full microcycle. Track 50m average pace in the margin; it's your fastest progress signal.
