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.
Swiming: 8 x 250m freestyle or as far as possible in 4 minutes.
Land exercises: Push-ups, Lunges, Sit-ups, Kettlebell swing, Russian twist with ball, Squat jumps, Burpees & One-hand kettlebell press.
