NOTES: This METCON is a 500 meter endurance test. This is what we’ll use to start setting TT times (Time Trial times) for everyone. Swim the 500 at a steady enough state to minimize rest. The more steady you are, the faster your 500 will be, requiring less rest. If you need to rest, take the rest, and don’t go out of the gates too hard. Remember, it’s 500 meters, not 50. Have fun, and most of all, enjoy the challenge!!
BE SURE TO RECORD TIME FOR 500
