Finswimming training plans, built for your goal
Finswimming rewards a completely different technique to freestyle — full-body undulation through a monofin generates far more propulsion than a kick, but only once the timing between torso, hips and fin is right, and immersion events add breath-hold pacing on top of that. SportBlox builds your finswimming training plan around your event — surface, bifins or immersion — your level and the meet on your calendar.
Who it's for
Racing surface finswimming (50m-400m)
Monofin undulation and race-pace intervals aimed at a faster surface time.
Training for immersion (apnea) events
Breath-hold pacing and underwater technique work layered on top of monofin conditioning.
Transitioning from freestyle swimming
Technique-first sessions building monofin feel and undulation timing for swimmers new to the discipline.
A week of finswimming training
Example: a swimmer transitioning from freestyle to monofin technique. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
How SportBlox personalises it
Your goal & event date
Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.
Your skill level
Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.
Your stated weaknesses
Tell SportBlox about things like monofin undulation timing, breath-hold pacing in immersion events, start and turn speed and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
Your schedule
The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.
Works with Strava
Connect Strava and your logged sessions feed back into pacing and progression.
Finswimming training plan FAQ
How many sessions per week does a finswimming plan include?
Typically 5-6 pool sessions plus 1-2 dryland strength sessions, scaled to your meet calendar.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer already?
It helps but isn't required — tell it your current swim background and the plan builds monofin technique from wherever you're starting.
Is this suitable for someone new to finswimming?
Yes, set skill level to Inexperienced and the plan starts with undulation drills and fin feel before race-pace work.
Does it cover both bifins and monofin events?
Yes — tell SportBlox which equipment and events you're training for and sessions adjust accordingly.
Will it fit around my club's pool schedule?
Yes, tell it your available pool times and sessions are built around them.
