Masters and Triathlon Swimming Workouts by Sara McLarty

Hey "Masters Swim Workouts by Sara McLarty" Blog Fans! Thanks for using this site as a resource for creative, challenging, unique, and free swim workouts for your swimming or triathlon training goals. It's been a fantastic 5 years posting workouts and hearing from all the users around the world. I'm glad that I was able to provide your swim training with a bit of variation. Since February of 2013, I no longer coach at my original Masters Swim team and I've decided to stop posting workouts on a regular basis. I am busy developing a new team ( Central Florida Masters Swimming ) and a new business ( Swim Like a Pro ) with Misty Becerra. Fortunately, there are over 750 workouts accessible on this site...each on is completely different from the others. I hope you will continue clicking on to this blog when you need inspiration in the pool or just a quick way to get through an hour workout. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact m...
