Freestyle Workout: Big Kick Set

Freestyle Workout: Big Kick Set

This workout is really geared for sprint freestyle swimmers; the fleet sprinter swimmers of the group that focus on the 50 and 100 swims.  You’ll find a lot of rest throughout, but the goal is to hit the Max VO2 system as well as get a little bit of Lactate Tolerance involved as well.  Enjoy!
