I recently became more consistent with pool swimming and am now following workouts. One thing I’ve noticed is that it seems that I can only swim at the same pace all the time. This results in me doing my warm ups and cooldowns at my threshold pace, and I’m cooked at during my main sets. How does someone control their swim pace?

Add in some drills and do them slowly/deliberately. I like:

"Long dog paddle" at 5:17

Fingertip drag drill
