Build your La Jolla Cove Swim plan
The instant browser builder only plans running races, so a open-water swim plan comes from the coach itself. It opens with the La Jolla Cove Swim already filled in (estimated for September until the date is announced), asks about your week and your current fitness, and writes every session. Free account (or start as a guest), no card. You are about 51 weeks out.

The La Jolla Cove Swim course
The one and three-mile courses start and finish at La Jolla Cove. A combo entry (3 Mile plus 1 Mile, not back to back) and a 250 m youth swim are also offered.
What to train for
Train in ocean swell so surf entries and exits feel routine, and practice sighting over chop. For the 3-mile, build steady continuous swims of 90 minutes or more.

How long should I train for the La Jolla Cove Swim?
