Can you believe that snow has already fallen, and we’re only in November? If the frozen weather outside is driving you to the warm pool, you’re not alone! If you’re looking for a way to kick your workout into high gear, try one of these November Challenge sets! Each set focuses on a different type of workout: Sprint or endurance.
