13:33 Are we concerned about over use injuries with this swim workout? Which areas might be of the most concern?

[@StewSmith182]

I wouldn’t be. This is only 1500 m of swimming. Yes while it’s true, you may need to build up to it. It is hardly a lot of swimming.

@@StewSmith182 ok sounds great! The SWCC swim workout only got to 800 which felt/feels like nothing, but I don’t notice my shin splints before they appear very often either. Thanks. 🙏🏽
