The Lactate Threshold (LT) test is critical to maximum performance.  By properly identifying your training zones, maximum benefit can be derived by creating training plans utilizing these zones, particularly for endurance racing.  Athlete can choose to have this test done on a bike or treadmill.  Training zones for running and biking are different, so it is recommended to have an LT test done in each discipline. 

Swimming is one of those sports that requires proper
technique to show any marked improvement.  Whether you are a beginner swimmer or have been swimming all your life, individual instruction is one of the most effective ways to improve your swimming technique. 

Five 45-minute sessions.
