*Editor's note:
Today's set is one of the two main ways to really test your overall fitness. It's a great set to use as a benchmark to come back to later on in the season and see how you're progressing.
This set does not have a beginner swim of 1200 or so because it is my (Jesse Funk, the editor) opinion that a 200/800 swim test isn't very useful to someone only yet doing 1200 sets. Once you're consistently doing our 2500 meter sets then it is a great time to try this one out as your fitness level is ready to give it a go.
750 as 150fr/100 nonfree choice.
