Ramp up your strength with dryland training.
There are several techniques to enhance your swimming performance without getting wet, even though water is a need for swimming. Effective dry-land training may be a useful backup for swimmers who find it difficult to visit the pool as frequently as they would like, suggests DSA.
A fast swim requires not just the right body posture but also the right stroke technique. You may move faster by exerting greater force on the water with each stroke while retaining proper technique and body alignment. You’ll be able to swim faster without exerting yourself any more if you develop the strength and endurance necessary to deliver that power effectively.
Because ergometers and stretch cords both provide constant resistance throughout an exercise session, dry-land training using ergometers and stretch cords is particularly useful for building power and muscle endurance. By shifting your posture in relation to the stretch cords, you can also strengthen the muscles necessary for stroke recovery. This is crucial for athletes who aren’t used to swimming in a full wetsuit.
