hi! i am new to your site and love it already! trying to decipher the codes: 8x25 @ :45 sec (i understand, but with descend? 1-4, 5-8? what does that mean? sorry for being so naive, but i want to maximize your workouts! thanks again for posting such great material.

Hi, glad you are enjoying the NTC Master's Swimming workout blog. 8x25 @ 45 (descend 1-4, 5-8) means that you are going to swim eight 25y laps on a :45 second interval. The first 25 is nice and easy, the second one is medium, the third one is strong, and the fourth is fast. "Descend 1-4" means you should descend your time for the 25. Then start over with easy on number 5 and descend to number 8.
Good luck and swim fast!
