What Is Dryland Training for Swimmers?

Dryland strength training for swimmers is essential for reducing injury, and improving performance. By improving muscular balance, core strength, and overall mobility, it directly supports a stronger streamline and more efficient stroke mechanics. Additionally, incorporating dryland breathing exercises helps swimmers develop better breathing efficiency, a critical skill for optimizing endurance and recovery during swims. At Train Daly, we focus on creating personalized dryland plans that deliver results both in and out of the pool.
