Swimmers and coaches are always looking for ways to improve the health and fitness of their athletes. That is why many focus on dryland training just as much as the training done in the water. A well planned and well executed dryland program will improve the swimmer’s strength, reduce injuries, improve body awareness, and as a result, improve the swimming as a whole.
Dryland programs are well rounded and well balanced, and one just technique that coaches use in dryland is plyometric training. But don’t start just any plyometric exercise you see online. Take a look at the 5 considerations coaches and swimmers must think over before adding plyometrics to a dryland training program.
