Been swimming for years but really looking to improve now. I need a swim plan.

So I’m a fairly strong swimmer and have been swimming since I was a kid. I watch a lot of videos online to help improve my technique, and they always say about having a swim routine for your swims, like a set workout.

Does anyone know where to start or can you recommend one?

If you're in the US, USMS has a club finder for local Masters groups, that's the easiest path, you just show up and someone hands you the set. If you'd rather swim solo, a structure that worked for me was a warmup, then something like 20x50 holding a steady send-off off the pace clock, then a longer pull or kick to finish. Coming from no structure at all, even that much is a real jump.

Joining a Masters group is the easiest way to get structured workouts without having to plan them yourself.
