LUNCHTIME SWIM WORKOUTS

When executed with a clear purpose and direction, short swim workouts can be highly effective for the time-crunched triathlete.

Carly Priebe, who holds a PHD in kinesiology and is a Triathlon Canada coach developer, knows this all too well. Priebe has worked with a variety of athletes from elites at the international level as the head coach of Canada’s national Paratriathlon team, to beginner and intermediate athletes through her triathlon-coaching business, Transition Sport and Fitness.

Priebe understands the time constraints of many multisport enthusiasts.

“Short swim workouts can be highly effective if athletes focus on purposeful drills and sets,” she says. “Quality over quantity can actually be the best recipe for success in the pool.”
