Main Set Thursday - Bootcamp-Based IM Set

Bootcamp workouts are often great inspiration for swimming workouts.  Today’s IM set is based on a bootcamp workout that went something like this…
Sprint 50 yards.
Sprint 50 yards, then do 5 burpees.
Sprint 50 yards, do 5 burpees, then do 30 seconds of bear crawl.
Sprint 50 yards, do 5 burpees, 30 seconds of bear crawl, then 10 pushups.
You get the idea.
