SWIMROX - SWIM & FITNESS

Welcome to the premiere of SWIMROX! With obvious inspiration from HYROX, we have developed a similar concept for us Swirunners, which we simply call SWIMROX. In the same way as the original, it is about mixing demanding physical fitness exercises on land with tough swimming intervals in the pool.

 

In total, there will be 16 intervals all 5 minutes divided between 8 swimming intervalls and 8 land exercises. Just like in HYROX, you participate in teams of two and can share the land exercises amongst the two of you, but must complete the swims together.

 

Competition Rules

The following rules apply in the competition class:

 

Swimming is done in pairs, sharing the same lane, for as far as possible within 4 minutes. Only completed 25-meter lengths count. If the distance differs between participants, the shorter distance will be recorded. On land, the pair divides the exercises freely, and the total number of repetitions for the team is what counts. The team’s competition result is the swimming distance in meters combined with the total number of repetitions on land. The highest total wins in each class.

 

Swimming: 8 x swimming

 

Land exercises: Push-ups (regular for men, knee push-ups for women), lunges with weight (different weights for men and women), sit-ups, kettlebell swings (different weights for men and women), Russian twists with a medicine ball (different weights for men and women), squat jumps, burpees, and one-hand kettlebell press (different weights for men and women).
