CrossFit with Swim Workouts

This page will present past and current swimming with CrossFit workouts. We are fortunate to have pull up bars on the pool deck at Brenau University. Remember you can substitute many exercises to compensate for what you do and do not have. Visit www.crossfit.com under the FAQ for a great list of substitutions. Feel free to contact me and I will add your favorite swim with CrossFit workout.

  1. I love the plan that you made. I am actually customizing different workouts for may daily routine. Thanks for this, I will surely keep a record of this.

  2. I love swimming! These sets of swimming workouts are great. Thanks for sharing!

  3. This is good stuff. I’m a masters swimmer and my kiddos swim too. Have c’fit for over 2 years and follow CFE and MacKenzie. Quick question – do you find the murph and high pull up WODs stress shoulders (especially with Kipping?) alongside a long course swim workout?

  • WORLD-CLASS FITNESS IN 100 WORDS:

    Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Dead lift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
