This principle says most swim time should feel comfortable, with short bursts of speed work.

• Low-intensity swimming builds your aerobic base without exhausting the body.
• The 20% portion pushes your heart rate up, building speed and power.
• This split prevents burnout while still producing measurable fitness gains.

Coaches apply this ratio across a training week or month, not every single session.

Remember: consistent low-intensity work builds the foundation; targeted intensity sharpens speed.
