Ready to turn up the speed and swim your fastest 50 or 100 ever? The USRPT II Training Plan in the MySwimPro app will get you there.


What is USRPT?

Ultra Short Race Pace Training (USRPT) is designed to teach your body to swim fast with perfect technique repeated over short distances. USRPT simulates a race situation in training, teaching your body to respond optimally so you get your desired result: your fastest times ever!

In USRPT workouts, your goal is to achieve race pace performance (or faster) and a 1:1 work to rest ratio. The times you strive for in practice are directly based on your goal time for a specific event.

You won’t see much “extra” swimming, such as a long warmup, kick sets or technique work in USRPT training. If you don’t do it in a race, you won’t do it in practice! Learn more about the science behind USRPT >

  • Workouts: 12 Swim Workouts, 8 Dryland Workouts
