![]() ![]() ![]() That's just ridiculously short for trying to improve a 100m event with submaximal efforts, because I am pretty sure you can't max out your energy systems in 10 seconds no matter how hard you swim, unless you're in god-awful shape, and even then I believe you can max your energy systems out much faster with a track or a bike, translating to a greater build-up of byproducts that stimulate adaptation (as compared to the 10s swim). The concept does still hold true, but a 15m swim only takes a good swimmer something like 10-11 seconds. You could compare it to skidding out on a car racetrack, except that you gain no extra grip benefits afterwards.īecause you can't truly go 100% in the water, you cannot compare equal intervals of sprints in the water compared to a bike or a running track. You create a localized region of moving water that does not serve to propel you, which is why the propellers on ship motors are limited to a certain rate of acceleration. You also cavitate in the water if you exert maximum power, meaning that you will actually move your arm THROUGH the platform of water you are pushing against, instead of capturing the water and pressing against it. ![]() You are depending on the upper body for much of your speed in swimming, and you do not have unrestricted access to oxygen. ![]()
