Swim intervals
Zero-impact conditioning that also opens the shoulders and chest after a week of pressing.
What it works
Back, Shoulders, Cardio
How to do it
- 1Push off, extend fully, and rotate from the hips rather than thrashing with the arms.
- 2Breathe every three strokes to keep both sides even.
- 3Rest on the clock between lengths rather than by feel, so the intervals stay honest as you tire.
- 4Zero impact makes this the conditioning option that works when running is off the table entirely — a stress fracture, shin splints, or the day after a hard match.
Cues that matter
- ›Long strokes, don't thrash
- ›Breathe bilaterally to stay even
- ›Push off the wall properly — it's free speed
