Recommended app for swimming on off days?

[Gotanno]

Hi all

I was wondering what app people here recommend that is similar to C25K, but for swimming. I'd like to go swimming every other day / in my between days, as swimming is a low impact full body workout.

I know there are loads of apps out there but I'd like to find one that doesn't overdo it, as it were. Something like C25K, which is amazing in my opinion.

Many thanks.

EDIT : : I came across the following program which seems to be what I'm after. It's in yards, but a yard is about the same one meter, so just assume that.

Also, I realised that maybe having a swimming app on your phone isn't really ideal, as you're not taking your phone with you into the water!

8-Week Swimming Training Program for Beginners

Week 1 (100 yards): 4 x 25 with no more than 20 breaths rest between lengths

Week 2 (100 yards): 4 x 25 with no more than 15 breaths rest

Week 3 (150 yards): 6 x 25 with no more than 20 breaths rest

Week 4 (150 yards): 6 x 25 with no more than 15 breaths rest

Week 5 (200 yards): 8 x 25 with no more than 15 breaths rest

Week 6 (200 yards): 1 x 50 with no more than 20 breaths rest, followed by 6 x 25 with no more than 15 breaths rest

Week 7 (250 yards): 1 x 50 with no more than 20 breaths rest; then 8 x 25 with no more than 15 breaths rest

Week 8 (250 yards): 1 x 50 with no more than 15 breaths rest; then 8 x 25 with no more than 15 breaths rest

I fear I don’t know, but there was a similar question on the Bridge forum recently, and some of the responses might also be of interest to you: healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

I also found this Guardian article about a Swimming Couch to 5k program theguardian.com/uk-news/202...

Thanks a lot for that. I took a look and realised it was a little too hardcore for me, haha.

I guess I'm after a programme that will fit in nicely with my running; just something to keep my busy and healthy in "between" days.

I came across a programme that seems to fit my needs and I've included it in my original question, for the benefit of others.

Thanks again
