All sports can be challenging in their own ways, whether this be mentally and/or physically, and push people to strive for greatness. So what makes swimming a challenging sport? Let us tell you!

Swimming is a vigorous exercise that works out every muscle in your body. But did you know dryland training improves a swimmer’s power, athleticism, and speed when they get back in the water? Having a good warm-up and warm-down routine can help to aid with recovery and to help with pre-race preparation both physically and mentally. Here are some reasons why dryland training is important for a swimmer and highlights portable equipment to aid you anywhere.

Swimming alone does not build muscle. During strength training exercises, you are fighting against gravity to create resistance against the heaviness of the weight, making the muscle experience micro-tears that repair and help the body to develop muscle. 

Resistance bands are an essential tool for most athletes. Not only are they multifunctional, but they can also be utilised by most athletes to improve recovery, flexibility, mobility, and power. At ProSwimwear, we have resistance bands that range from light to strong.

Our lowest Fitness Mad resistance band is ideal for those new to resistance training or for recovering from injury.

If you’re looking for a resistance band that is stronger and gives a bit more of a challenge, we have these too! Our black coloured bands offer a higher amount of resistance compared to the red ones. The stronger resistance bands can be used for various purposes, to increase or decrease an exercise's difficulty for example.

In any sport, core strength is important for posture, agility, and balance - swimming is the same. Swimmers need a strong core to transfer force efficiently from one part of the body to another, to push off from the wall and essentially win the race. Good core strength enables the swimmer to accelerate faster and to carry more speed in a dive.  

Shoulder injuries are the most common in swimmers, this is caused by the repetitive motions performed in a swimmer’s daily training, when the same muscles are used they can get overworked and stressed. To remedy this, it is important to incorporate dryland exercises to relieve tension in muscle groups.
