LAP TIME
Train consistently. Build endurance. Become a stronger swimmer.
Lap Time is Salty Fit’s coached squad-style training session for swimmers who are ready to move beyond technique work and build their swimming fitness.
The word “squad” can sometimes feel intimidating.
For many swimmers it brings thoughts of crowded lanes, impersonal coaching, and trying to keep up with swimmers who seem much faster.
At Salty Fit, we do things differently.
Our Lap Time sessions are designed to be welcoming, supportive and challengingβwhether your goal is to improve fitness, prepare for an ocean swim, complete a triathlon, or simply become a stronger swimmer.
If you can comfortably swim 1km continuous freestyle, Lap Time is where you begin building the endurance, pacing skills and training habits that take your swimming further.
What happens in a Lap Time session?
Each session includes a structured swim set designed to improve your:
π Endurance and distance capacity
π Speed and pacing
π Swim efficiency
π Training consistency
You’ll learn how to use the pace clock, understand interval training, track your progress and develop the confidence to train independently.
Your coach will guide you through each session, explain the purpose behind the set and provide modifications where needed so swimmers of different speeds can train together.
No mindless laps following the black line.
Every session has a purpose.
Lap Time is perfect for swimmers who want to:
β Prepare for an ocean swim event
β Build fitness for triathlon
β Improve speed and endurance
β Train consistently with a supportive group
β Progress towards ocean squad training
β Stay motivated with coached sessions
Is Lap Time right for you?
β You can comfortably swim 1000m continuous freestyle
β You are ready to follow structured training
β You want to improve your swimming beyond technique alone
If you’re not quite there yet, Advance Your Style or Refine Your Style may be the perfect stepping stone.

What People Say
Fast forward to August 2015 and I have completed a full IRONMAN with a swim leg of 3.8 km and can now swim 2.15 per 100 m and swim butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. So different to my childhood self that churned with anxiety every year at the swimming carnivals for fear they were going to make me get in the water. The miracle can be put down to the wonderful coaches led by Mermaid herself Jo , who directs ,coaches and choreographs sessions for maximum improvement and achievement .
Now I’m beginning to understand how my body responds to the increase in swim fitness and how the Glutes , core and body position work under the water to propel me forward.Yes my Glutes burn , yes I’m speechless due to hypoxia and my mind is mush as I try to keep the time repeats and change of stroke . But wow do I love the fire and the burn.!!!!
Thank you to all of you for creating the fire within.
