Swimmers Don't Just Swim

When swimmers have to train for their upcoming season obviously you would imagine that they swim a lot to prepare. What a lot of people don’t realize, though, is that swimmers also need to do dryland (workouts not in the water).

Abs are essential to every swimmer, there isn’t a time in the water that they aren’t using their abs. Plus legs workouts like lunges and squats also help for kicking. Finally, lifting helps the muscles grow stronger so it’s easier to go faster in the water.
