Picture
Swimmer Challenges. Over the next six weeks I am issuing a workout challenge for all swimmers! The more that participate the better it will be! Each week I will aim to add a new set of challenges and exercises for swimmers to do. Swimmers need to submit their results using the Mountain Swim Workout Challenge form. At the end of the 6 weeks we will see who achieved how many points.

Please make sure to observe the following:
- NO SHORTCUTS!
- Remember Safety! Watch for traffic during runs, wear correct clothing/bright clothing at night, have lights etc for rides.
- Don’t lift super heavy weights. Light weights are okay for older swimmers.
- Don’t over do it. Start simple and build up each week. This is a personal challenge as much a team one.
- Not sure of the terminology: Google it!
- You can use the Strava app on a smartphone to track your run and create a group with other swimmers.
- Parents are also welcome to participate.
- Workouts can be substituted for similar things. If you are unsure please send me a message to check.

- This week’s challenges end on Midnight on Sunday.
- Uploading a photo of you, or your workout, or related on the Mountain Swim Facebook page is worth a bonus point!

Schedule:
Week 1 (Ends 29th March)
Week 2 (Ends 5th April)
Week 3 (Ends 12th April)
Week 4 (Ends 19th April)
Week 5 (Ends 26th April)
Week 6 (Ends 3rd May)

Please let me know your results by logging on above!

Issue your own workout challenge!
In week 2 swimmers are welcome to issue their own challenge using the Mountain Swim Facebook Page. This will be worth points also! The challenge needs to consider the following:
  1. Be a physical (Or even mental, ie math problem, riddle) challenge.

  3. Be something younger or older swimmers can scale up or down.
