I have added a feature request (#513) for a CSS tracker. Please vote if you would also like one on fetch.

Voted.

My CSS has been creeping slower with all this endurance stuff.

Just catching up on threads and noticed your intentions.

This wasn’t open water but just after Christmas I jumped on the 100x100m bandwagon and included drills as a warm up for the first 1k then repeated at 6k to reinforce the same technique.

It all sounded a bit of a gimmick, but it gave me the confidence to know I can do all my long distance swim targets, and will repeat at least once more this year if not twice, with it being an open water exercise too.

The pace ended up being CSS+6 which shocked me enormously.

Good luck

With the 100x100m do you try to beat the beep and take the recovery? Or is it set recovery?

We broke it down into 10x1k sets with 2mins between those, and then 15secs between the 100’s

I have to say the last 6 were done with a lot more rest ;-)

But its really satisfying and one I will be repeating.

Loving swimming right now too.

Have done short swims in the sea (and the dark) 3 days this week. It feels amazing afterwards (I spent an hours going ‘wheeeeee’ yesterday!) and swims are short enough that no shivers afterwards!

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
