Swimming – 1.9km Training Plan

This 1.9k Swimming plan is for swimmers who are looking to improve their long-distance swimming times over 1.5-3km. This has a reasonably high frequency of swimming and volume but works on 1-hour long sessions and focuses on sustained efforts. The sessions are longer than 1.9km in order to ensure you gain speed and endurance for them and, as a result, will ensure you are trained well for racing 1.9km.

Ideal for swimmers with limited time throughout the week. There are some longer open water efforts towards the end of the plan. This has had success for athletes of a variety of abilities, including multiple PBs. If you are looking at significantly stepping up to this distance, we suggest you start with our shorter-distance swimming plan for 1.6km. However, it should be appropriate for most swimmers as long as they are swimming two sessions a week already.
