Plan Description

The 4-week dryland strength and conditioning program is specifically designed to complement and enhance your swimming performance.

It integrates mobility, strength, and breathing sessions, with each element targeting key areas essential for swimmers.

Mobility exercises focus on improving flexibility and joint range of motion, especially in the shoulders, hips, and ankles, ensuring optimal movement patterns in the water.

Strength training is tailored to build muscle endurance, core stability, and power, with a focus on the upper body, legs, and core - areas crucial for propulsion and stroke efficiency.

Breathing sessions aim to improve lung capacity, breath control, and coordination, helping to manage energy during longer swims and preventing early fatigue.

By combining these components, the program enhances swimming technique, boosts overall performance, and reduces the risk of injuries, ensuring you're stronger, more flexible, and more efficient in the water.
