Hello I wanted to say thank you for your vids. I usually swim about 7K a week. It takes me usually about 21-22 minutes to swim 1K. I want to reach 300K by the end of this year. I am doing well on my target, about 30% completed with only 24.5% of the time has passed. Now I am thinking to reduce my swim time and dedicate some of the time to building muscle using the techniques in this vid. Hopefully by end of the year I will have reached my 300K target. Will let you know on 1 Jan 2025.
Been doing most of these exercises since I started working out, about 2 years ago. I used to be underweight but I managed to reach a normal bmi. Then I started swimming classes at our school. I wasn't sore the next day after swimming but got tired because we were swimming from 8am to 1pm, crammed the hours to Saturdays because we didn't have a pool at school.
I love this! If I become a swimming trainer, these will be my go-to exercises :) Also, I signed up for a swimming competition in a month without having worked out in months, so this helps
I agree on working out the core, but the shoulders and arms already workout really well in the water. You are just adding a normal gym workout to an already intense workout (in the water) what you wanna do, instead, is improve bad posture all swimmers have, increase balance (that swimmers don't have) improve plyometrics (yes! Power! For diving!)
I guess you just have to balance the land workout with what you do in the pool but strengthening the whole body should benefit competitive swimmers. Personally I'm trying to focus more on the legs as I feel you don't work out those as much as other parts when you're swimming and in the core. The arms and upper body I try to do it a day I'm not swimming or going light if the pool training is going to be intense.
A strength training program 2x a week can really benefit one’s swimming, especially in non distance events (sub 400-500). I wish I knew this when I was competitive. It would have helped tremendously.
The shoulder exercises are extremely useful. I get shoulder pains from free style. It is my understanding this is quite common. Dry land shoulder exercises strengthen all shoulder muscle groups to prevent the imbalance caused by free style.
I restarted swimming since 3 weeks, in the past I have learned how to do the 4 swims ( it was when I was 11 years old, now I am 17). I got a training programme from a friend of mine who is a club monitor, I train 5 times per weeks. But I want also to train inn the gym, so can you tell me how many time can I do those trainings in parallel with the swimming please ?
+Skills NT Swimming first of all thanks a lot for another informative and useful video. I've a question: do you use Stretch Cordz in your training cycle and if you do could you describe how to coordinate these exercises with exercises done with cords?
Nice swimming and congrats on the state qualification. There are a couple dryland videos that I put together specifically for butterfliers on my channel if you are looking to strengthen your stroke. 👍
Thank you very much for all the information. You guys are really impressive. I want to know what is the best training schedule for doing swimming exercises and gym exercise if I’m free the whole week how can I organize that
There's really not any reason to do extra bicep work when it comes to swimming, seeing as how ones biceps don't really get used when swimming. It's just gonna be unnecessary mass that you're gonna have to drag along in the water, if you swim for distance. Although if you are (what I'll refer to as a sprint swimmer AKA, you swim like 50-100 meters asap) then building the arms bigger so that you can catch even more, then it certainly would improve your speed.
@@mathiashaustedmortensen7097 K. I knew for sure Triceps were worked. I always see mixed answers online wheather or not Freestyle or Breastroke works biceps or not. I'm a Freestyler and Butterflyer, BTW.
@@ncaviationfilms well having a good bicep is prolly good for shoulder health, I know a weak bicep can have negative effects on the shoulder. But I don’t believe there’s any reason to give it isolation work to the bicep, if one’s only goal is to be in better shape for swimming, I am certain that the indirect train from any kind of rows and pull-ups would be more than sufficient for that purpose
I just swam my first 6km open water race! Loved it. Now I am looking to add muscle to increase my power and speed. Thank you for the gym weights workout ! Going to start the programme tomorrow!
Hi, thanks so much for this video with demonstration and the free PDF! I presume we have to do warm-ups before and stretching after the gym workouts. Can you please recommend warm-ups and stretching suitable for these workouts?
Thanks for the great content. I've signed up for an account on your site to download the PDF however for some reason it won't let me get past the log in stage. Any tips?? Thanks
I heard it from one coach that weight lifting does make the triathlete heavy to run and swim , is that true? The coach said there is only some exercises for swimmers to do , not heavy liftings, reps and sets are very important in
You can do at home! (WITH NO GYM EQUIPMENTS) CORE 1:04 1:11 1:23 1:29 SHOULDERS (Need equipments 😔) BICEPS ETC 3:02 BACKS 4:47 Can't go to gym bc my parents are pretty strict and they aint into sports 🥲✌️
Don’t worry man that’s plenty! you can do full body each day ,so you’d workout about every muscle group and try to focus on the big compound lifts squats,bench,deadlift,pull ups,overhead press and compliment them with these exercises that the video shows
When I learned the wall sit, I was told that the entire back has to be against the wall. But on the video, only your lower back is in contact with the wall. Why is that? Is there a real difference? Doesn't your way put more pressure on the lower back? Thanks.
Is there any equipment I can substitute so I can do at home rather than a gym or I need all these equipment. Can any substitute equipment be something you can find at home
Also is all these exercises mostly for adults or they can be for all ages because I am an 11 year old swimmer that is starting my 4th competitive season. Also what kind of things I can substitute for what that won’t make injures
I laughed at the last one. I can do wall sits for so long and don't feel anything. But can't do push ups . No matter how strong I am. 😅 or squads. But that's an health problem 😕 doesn't infect my swimming 😅
Hi, your videos are great, I'm following you for a long time and I use to practice most of your tips. Bur now I have a problem with herniated disc. I read a lot of opinions is it good to swim during your terapy or what style should be avoid like fly after the terapy. I am really interested what is your opinion. Thank you very much for your answer
