Daily Swim Workout #24: Threshold

Today's set gives you another chance to improve your pacing skills as you work on descending slightly throughout the set. Both inside intervals with a negative split 200 and as the set goes on. The cool down today gives you a chance to practice your sighting. Too often we forget to practice sighting until race day and then end up messing up all that beautiful swim form we worked on all year because we're panicking to find buoys, breathe and not get run over by other racers. Practice makes permanent. Use good form now, it'll come back to you on auto-pilot later.
