1 NITRO SWIMMING National Development Workout Concepts and Skills By Jeremy Kline, of Cedar Park Site and Randy Teeters, of Bee Cave Site 15 MINUTES OF DYNAMIC WARMUPS BEFORE WATER TIME DAILY Example Module A 1x PVC Series and PVC Squats 2x (10x I, 10x Y, 10x T )on rings 2X (8x Hip Bridge, :30 Caveman, 8x Spiderman, :30 Pigeon each leg, 8x Gorilla Squats Example Module B 1x Chopper Series 1x Lunge Coordination 4x :30 pigeon each leg, 12x Spiderman, :60 Caveman, 12xzombies Example Module C 1x Jumping Jack Series 1x Lunge Coordination 4x (:60 Caveman Squat, 12x Inchworm, :30 Knee on Wall each leg, 12x Zombies 1

2 THE BENEFITS OF DRYLAND BEFORE SWIM Excellent time to bond with group, and create a time to discuss focus of water time for that day with the kids. Fun for the athletes, and allows coaches to better understand the kids through communication out of the water. Kids can always hear dryland coaching. Easier to get messages and themes to swimmers. Strength increases about 2% per 1.8 degrees F of increased body temperature. Muscle, joints and tendons, as well as nervous system, operate best at temperatures of degrees F EXAMPLES OF WARM UP IN WATER Example A: Scull, 50 swim(snorkel opt.) k/d/s, IM 200- wall pause on each turn, and ride glides for distance on push offs 100-4x25 balance swim Eyes start near surface looking FWD. and progressively chin tucks to pull eyes into a downward fashion. Looking to achieve body balance and buoyancy in connection to head position. Can be done on back as well, starting chin tucked and adjusting until best balance and buoyancy occur. Example B: (4x) 10x Bobs 10x Streamline Jumps 10x Double High Fives (on the water) 1x :10 Hand Stand 10x Boxing Jabs 1x 50 Rotisserie Kick 1x75 Build to Sprint 1x25 Smooth No Breath Free 2

3 EXAMPLE OF WARMUP IN WATER EXAMPLES OF CHAIR PAUSE TURNS, WITH PUSH OFFS FOR DISTANCE 3

4 EXAMPLES OF PRE SETS AND UNDERWATER SETS EXAMPLE PRE SET: 2x rounds 8x25-4 Und.Water Dolphin :35, 4 swim@:30-3 breaths only#1, 2 breaths only#2, 1 breath only#3, 0 breaths on #4, swim can be fly, or free, or underwater breast stroke no breath turns and finish to fast flip turn. Focus on feet at shoulder width on turn and swimming the head and shoulders into the flip turns. 800 yds. EXAMPLE UNDERWATER DOLPHIN SET: 6x Shooters 1x25 Dolphin Kick on Back(DKOB) 2x25 UWDK fast strokes 1x25 UWDK 15 yds. + 6 fast strokes 1x25 UWDK(Underwater Dolphin) Round 1&2- Start from a push, Round 3&4- Start from flags, Round 5&6- Start from a push w/ Fins **Interval*** 750 yds MAIN SET EXAMPLE 30x50 FR.@ :50 2 Cruz, 1 at Race Pace, 1-12 Race Pace held at 500 Free Pace, Race Pace at 200 Pace, All out on Race Pace recovery 20x50 1:00 1 Cruz, 1 at Race Pace, 1-10 Race Pace at 200 speed, Race Pace held at 100 speed recovery 10x50 COACH CHOICE@ 1:30 All as fast possible, Dive odds, push evens recovery Usually done the 3 rd session of 8 sessions weekly Helps kids learn to feel 100, 200 and 500 pace, and allows room for variation and creativity. Used all season even leading into meets in a scaled back version. Several ways to vary the set depending on the time of the season, and based on type of swimmer. (Distance, Mid., and Sprint) 3000 yds. 4

5 WEEKLY REPEATED DRILLS AND SKILLS SETS: VIDEO OF: UNDERWATER TURNS, KICKING AND BODY BALANCE DRILLS AND CONCEPTS Videos are examples of Sectional to NCSA Jr. National level athletes from our two locations: EXAMPLES OF WEEKLY DRILLS AND SKILLS PRACTICED Float/ Kick/ Swim Underwater Turns Head up to eyes down/ balance drill 5

6 SPEED WORK SETS AND IDEAS Often done on Friday AM, as kids have no Friday PM practice. We feel it is beneficial at the end of the week and often matches the speed needed on weekends of competition. Try to also use so that body clocks are used to swimming fast in the morning. Can t make PM finals if you don t swim fast in AM prelims. EXAMPLE FRIDAY AM MAIN SET: (4x) 1x 25 HVO (f/m 1x 50 Build to 1x 25 1x 75 AFAP (f/m 1x 75 DBL Arm O.C. ADD = 100 TIME IF you go 3x in a row of lifetime best move on to warm down lane ENDURANCE SET IDEALS 4x500/ # #3-200s/100k/200s@x-:20, #4-all swim 2 minutes, hydrate and switch 3x400 Pull rest sec.
