SURF TEAMS RACE

Surf Teams Race training plans, built for your goal

Surf Teams Race has your whole team swimming the course together, so the result depends on your slowest swimmer as much as your fastest — team pacing matters as much as individual speed. SportBlox builds your surf teams race training plan around your ocean swim fitness and your team's pacing.

Personalisation

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 losing time getting through the break, pacing to stay with your teammates, sprint finish after a hard swim leg 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.

For coaches

FAQ

Surf Teams Race training plan FAQ

Do I need my whole team to train together?

Team pace sessions benefit from swimming together, but SportBlox marks these separately from the solo endurance and strength work that makes up most of the week.

How many sessions per week?

Typically 4–5, mixing endurance swimming with strength and at least one full rest day.

Is it suitable moving up from nippers to seniors?

Yes, skill level scales volume and wave-condition complexity for that transition.

Does it follow the surf season and carnival calendar?

Yes — add your carnivals as events and training periodises toward them.

How does it help with team pacing specifically?

Pace sets are set at your team's target race pace, not just individual best effort, so you build the rhythm to swim together.
