Weekend Swim Workout: 15x Stretch Cord Main Set + Core Work

This workout from coach Sara McLarty is designed as a swim/strength workout for when you don’t have access to a pool—which is most of us in this crazy time. It can be designed to take you between 15-30 minutes to complete (based on how many reps you choose).
