Strength training methods for swimmers

We all know that swimming requires not only skills, but also strong enough strength to achieve a faster speed. It is very effective for us to improve our own physical fitness. Some swimmers also choose some regular strength training methods for swimmers, but we must choose according to our own situation. Let’s briefly describe the strength training methods for swimmers.

1. Different swimming styles have different requirements. Butterfly stroke: waist and abdominal muscles drive the whole body. Freestyle: chest and arm muscles are used as the main driving force. Breaststroke: Legs are used as the main driving force. Backstroke: Arms should also be used to exercise the waist and abdomen. Sit-ups (weights can be added for practice), chest and arm barbell push-ups, pull-ups, dumbbell side raises, legs, dumbbell leg raises, treadmill exercises are enough. Never practice only one part of swimming. Swimming athletes generally have a more symmetrical body. I suggest you exercise all parts and strengthen certain parts according to the swimming style you are good at.

2. Do strength exercises before entering the water. Isometric stretching is usually performed, but general gyms do not have the isometric stretching used in professional swimming training. Suggestions: Do some bench presses, waist and abdomen strength exercises, static exercises, etc. Haha~ Don’t you know? Because you haven't explained your specific situation very clearly, the coach often cannot make a plan for you at random. Generally, coaches have to be realistic and conduct land strength training based on the conditions of athletes or students. What I've told you are just some principles.

3. Swimming is a sport in which athletes overcome the resistance of water in water. It is a sport that tests speed, endurance and willpower. It is a good way to exercise and strengthen the body. It is deeply loved by the general public and is very popular all over the world. It is a youth event in competitive sports, and the main reason is that the age of achievement is relatively early, such as short-distance men 18-23 years old; women 16-21 years old; middle- and long-distance men 16-19 years old; women 15-17 years old; and some individual athletes even earlier. Therefore, starting from the young is the primary condition for cultivating high-level swimmers today.

The strength training method for swimmers is something that every one of our friends needs to pay attention to, especially some swimmers. It can help them quickly improve their swimming speed and strength, and can quickly achieve good results, which is very obvious. Everyone can try the above method.
