Why do Dryland?
Dryland training plays a huge role in keeping the athlete strong and healthy. Dryland, done correctly can increase strength and power, improve overall performance, as well as, aid in injury prevention. In the water, this translates to improvements in both your distance per stroke as well as your stroke rate. Providing an external stimulus of constantly varied resistance training causes your body to grow and adapt.

The most common injuries in swimming involve the shoulder complex, knees, and hips. Swimmers in general face an overload of repetitive movement patterns. Strengthening the posterior chain and core stabilization muscles through dryland training drastically reduces the chances of injury by providing a strong support for all of the rigorous and repetitive movements involved in swimming.
