Delivering the technical and physical demands of our sport
Competitive swimming can be a gruelling sport, requiring swimmers to undertake many hours of repetitive training each week, in pursuit of excellence.
- For dedicated swimming coaches, developing a training programme that delivers the technical and physical demands of our sport, while adding some variety and even a bit of fun to your sessions is an ongoing process that can be both difficult and time-consuming to achieve.
- Training programmes without fresh stimuli are in real danger of demotivating both swimmers and coaches alike.
About me
Over the past twenty-plus years as a head coach, coach and teacher, I have managed to collate a portfolio of competitive breaststroke drills.
- I have used these to develop many young competitive breaststroke swimmers to county, regional/state and national level, the best of which are published here.
Publication focus
This publication focuses on the stroke’s key technical and physical areas.
- Each has its dedicated chapter, breaking down the stroke into its key constituent parts, to help both the coach and the swimmer develop and maintain a great breaststroke.
Competitive swimming training
Competitive swimming training requires the swimmer to perform repetitive technical and physical drills, to master a set of key skills.
- This enables them to perform to the best of their ability, under the pressure of competition.
- Repetitive training enables the swimmer to adopt this training to their ‘muscle memory’*, enabling them to automatically perform as taught when required in competition.
- (*muscle memory – the ability to reproduce a movement without conscious thought, acquired as a result of frequent repetition of that movement)
- If the training is performed with the perfect technique, then the muscle memory will store the perfect technique.
- However, if the training is performed with poor technique, then the muscle memory will store the poor technique
- This can be very difficult to correct.
- For any coach, it is important that they ‘consistently and persistently’ incorporate drills into their training programme to reinforce and develop a great breaststroke technique.
