Swimmers: want to get stronger, fitter and quicker than your rivals?

Claim your FREE swimming-specific training pack from Peak Performance!

---

Dear Swimmer,

Want to know why your race times in the pool aren’t improving, no matter how many hours you put in?

Well, you’re probably going to think this is absurd, but it’s the truth.

You need to spend less time training in the water.

Surprised? You should be.

If you (or your coach) are caught up in the belief that the only way to get faster is through high volumes of training in the pool, then you won't progress further than your current competitive level.

Ask an elite coach or sports scientist what you need to do to improve your performance dramatically and they'll tell you that you need to top up your pool training with land-based work outs.

Not just any old exercises with weights, though.

I'm talking about highly-targeted movements, with added resistance, that replicate what you do in the water as closely as possible... so you can get strong in those specific motions and muscles.

Do this, and you'll gain that extra advantage over your rivals.

You might be sceptical now (like I used to be) but this really works. It's been proven in sports science trials with athletes (more on them in a moment) and it's the reason that top swimmers like Michael Phelps got to their lofty Olympic heights.

As the experts in sports-specific training advice, Peak Performance has created a 8-part swimming training plan – based on this evidence – that will help build and improve your:

Strength
Power
Endurance
Speed
Fitness
Hip/trunk control
Stroke technique

It contains elite-level workouts – designed by top international coaches – that are ready for you to use right away; just them print off, and go! Best of all, you can get them all today, completely FREE of charge.

Simply take out a no-obligation trial to Peak Performance – the trusted global source of sports performance knowledge for athletes and coaches – for $1.97 and you can access and download your training programme instantly.

Decide it’s not for you, and you can cancel and get a full refund - plus keep your free swimming workouts.

Before I tell you about Peak Performance, let's look at your training pack in detail...

Can't wait? Click here to get your pack now and try Peak Performance – or read on to discover more about the benefits of land-based training...

Your new training plan - tailored to a swimmer's needs

Remember: the difference between another average time in the pool and a brand-new PB could be in your FREE training workouts.

Strike the right balance between lengths in the water and hitting the gym and you’ll immediately see a leap in your performance.

Grab this elite swimming-specific training pack while you can, and put yourself ahead of your rivals.

You’ll be glad you did!

Yours sincerely,

Jonathan Pye

It doesn't matter how efficient you are in the pool if you are uncomfortable drafting or zig zag off course in open water. Let's look at a drill sequence developed by SS Coach Steve Casson which you can follow with a friend in the pool to help you become comfortable swimming close to other swimmers. Open Water SOAP! (Open Water Swimming Optimisation, Acclimation and Performance) During mass open water swim starts and when swimming around marker buoys, a bit of contact with other swimmers is inevitable. Your choices? Drop back or out to the side into clearer water - reducing your chance of catching a good draft and swimming further than you need to - or get stuck in and stay close to other swimmers getting maximum benefit from drafting. Research shows that you can save up to 38% of your energy expenditure* from drafting behind or to the side of other swimmers. A huge saving that would be insane to ignore. You might have tried swimming close to other swimmers before but found it uncomfortable (or even outright scary) to do so. Open Water SOAP is a drill sequence designed by Steve to help you gain experience swimming close to other swimmers and develop your confidence doing so. Watch the full SOAP sequence on Steve's website here: swimsmooth.cassonz.com/wp/?p=1912 Steve is based in Northampton in the UK. Find out more about his video analysis and stroke correction services here, and his forthcoming training camps in Mallorca in July and October. Open Water Skills In his coaching, Steve recognises the variety of challenges that stand between swimmers achieving their potential in the open water environment. Overcoming anxiety, cold water temperatures, navigating, judging distances, judging pace, wetsuit fitting, coping with choppy water conditions and learning how to gain advantage from other swimmers around you are all skills you need to experience and practise dealing with on a regular basis. The good news is that using methods such as the SOAP sequence you can develop many of those skills in the pool, just as easily as in the open water. Swim Smooth! [1] CHATARD, J.-C., and B. WILSON.
