Train To Compete
Aspiring swimmers know that swimming is a demanding sport that requires dedication and hard work. To excel in the pool, they must be proficient in all four strokes, starts, turns, and finishes, and have developed an impressive aerobic ability.
To reach their full potential, they must focus on continuous improvement and mastery of their sports skills. They should also aim to develop their aerobic system during a critical growth spurt to peak PHV (Peak Height Velocity) while consistently maintaining and consolidating their skill, speed, and flexibility.
With dedication and perseverance, performance swimmers can enhance their strength development, acquire the mental skills necessary to cope with competition, and regularly engage in monitored flexibility training. By doing so, they will be well on their way to achieving their goals and making a splash in the world of competitive swimming.
