Swimming Training
Speed in the water starts with power built on land. Sports Training Los Angeles provides dryland strength and conditioning for competitive swimmers, built to complement pool-based technical coaching, not replace it.
Programming targets rotational shoulder strength and stability, core power for stroke efficiency, and the explosive lower-body power that drives starts, turns, and underwater dolphin kicks.
How We Train Swimming
Shoulder Strength & Stability
Rotator cuff and scapular stability work that supports stroke power while protecting against the overuse injuries common in high-volume swimming.
Core & Rotational Power
Core strength that supports body position and rotation through the stroke cycle, improving efficiency and reducing drag.
Explosive Starts & Turns
Lower-body power development for dive starts, wall push-offs, and the underwater phase that often decides close races.
Land-Based Conditioning
Dryland conditioning that builds a strength and power base pool time alone doesn't fully develop.
Built on Core Training Methods
Swimming programming draws directly from our core speed, agility, and strength methods, adapted to the sport's specific demands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide in-pool stroke coaching?
No — this is a dryland strength and conditioning program designed to complement pool-based technical coaching from a swim coach, not replace it.
Why does a swimmer need strength training on land?
Dryland strength training builds the rotational power, shoulder stability, and explosive lower-body strength that pool training alone develops more slowly, particularly for starts, turns, and stroke power.
Is this safe for a competitive swimmer's shoulders?
Yes, programming specifically includes rotator cuff and scapular stability work aimed at protecting against the shoulder overuse injuries common in high-volume swimmers.
