We suggest starting with a 4:1 ratio - that means sprint at 80 -90% effort for 20sec and rest for about 80 sec - repeat the sprints 8-12 times.
You can improve to a 2:1 ratio where 2 is rest and 1 is the interval. Sprint 20 sec & rest 40 sec. Repeat

All athletes are different and everybody requires different amounts of rest between workouts. Depending on workout intensity, frequency and the athlete's conditioning.

Studies have proven that athletes show best results with at least 1-2 rest days a week. If you are one of those athletes that find it hard to sit on the sofa a whole day resting, then going for a swim on a rest day, can be very beneficial.

Swim between 1km and 2.5km depending on fitness level. Remember this is not a race! It's a rest day where you hold a nice consistent pace with your focus on a good stretch and relaxed breathing.
The swim can be completed in one go or break it up in 100m sets. Good for stretching, breathing and low impact giving your body rest from your usual workouts. This is not a rest day for swimmers, for swimmers we recommend light cycling day of 45 - 60min
