Dryland Swim Trainer | Dryland Swimming Training and Workout for Swimmers

One of our friends recently had questions about core rotations and core training. This is the information we sent him:

Core rotations are simply rotating through core exercises for a given amount of time. For example

Core rotations – 4 min, switch exercises every :30 could just be a series repeating – for instance, alternating pikes and ride-the-bike, or could be a bunch of exercises and look like:

:30 flutter kick

:30 kick outs

:30 ride the bike

:30 pikes

:30 Russian twists

:30 sit-ups

:30 plank

:30 sit-up get-ups

Use what works best with your team – the real effectiveness will come in progressing in exercise time and difficulty, and the effort given by the swimmers. Some video links follow at the bottom with a bunch of core work ideas. Please copy and paste the links below into your browser.
