About Endurance Squad
Endurance Squad is focused on building aerobic fitness and helping you feel comfortable swimming longer distances. Sessions include structured sets designed to improve pacing, endurance, and efficiency over distance.

This squad suits swimmers training for triathlon, Ironman events, or masters swimming, as well as those looking for a longer, low-impact fitness session
