100 easy kick with kickboard (no fins)

8 x 25 mix up the strokes you do on these.

This is a super challenging workout designed to make you aware of your ability to hold an even but speedy pace. You can’t start out too fast, or you’ll fall apart. However, you also can’t start out too slow or you will have too much left in the tank when you finish. Be very conscious of your finish times when you are completing this workout. Swim smart!
