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.
Who it's for
First season racing as a team
Progressive open-water swim volume for a first competitive season racing as a squad.
Faster individual ocean swimming
Pace-based interval swimming to lift your own contribution to the team's time.
Pacing to stay together as a team
Group-pace sets aimed at swimming the course as a unit rather than every swimmer for themselves.
A week of surf teams race training
Example: a surf teams racer building toward a state titles carnival. 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 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.
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.
