Dry land
We are working on all the parts of the ladder! Just starting to attack the mindset as David’s really helped us zoom into this as our daughters greatest area of need! She’s fairly good at training her body but her coach keeps passing comments of getting muscles. I’d like to do a few dry land activities every other day or so just a short circuit to help her. Any ideas of the best bodyweight or band exercises - top 5? For context, she’s 11 and does dry land only once a week. I’ve never seen their routine as there’s no window into the space where they exercise to see some ideas! For sure I want to do core like a streamline kick Army crawls for shoulders/arms

@David Karasek Emilia hasn’t yet trained with resistance in the water but I’ve seen the older squad doing this at her club. Looks challenging and can definitely see why it would benefit. Her new club do fun Friday sessions, where they are doing strength skills in the water using floats, each other. We’ve also started back on Jake Tyson’s swimming specific land training programme for youth girls. She started it back in the summer and is starting to feel strong. It’s a challenge to fit 3 sessions in a week though, with the extra travel time to pool and school work.

@Amy S for ideas you could look at Jake Tyson’s instagram maybe. It’s not child specific but he does videos on exercises for specific strokes.

@David Karasek Yes it was. Emilia loves it. She is doing the girls youth programme. It was very different to what she was used to but she is feeling stronger and more flexible… it is still early days for us though!

Cute Photo! I can really see your daughter! Happiest of birthdays for Sunday. 🎂🎁 🥳 Sound exciting and intriguing. Will you post about it after too? I’ll try and join zoom, we will be at a gala and been warned about lack of phone reception! 🤪 you know how it is!
Training minset
Hey! Have you got any info on mindset during training sets? Should these be different from race? I’m thinking yes? Training at my daughter’s club is repetitive and basic. No technique coaching, which I think will slow her down and possibly plateaux this season. The social side of training is keeping her love so far. Just hope she has a great gala this coming weekend too. Will be first one of short course season for us!

@Maria T oh I’m not stopping her from swimming or doing what she loves, just trying to stop the over training. I haven’t seen anyone training as many hours as 22hrs a week. Plus school sport. It’s not good for her both physically or mentally.

@Maria T yes she does. Before school, after school, at weekends. Only Sundays off 🤪 We are striving to find a better balance and learn some mental resilience on the way too! She’s only 14. Needs time to be a kid too! It sounds like your training session is at a sensible time and you have a great balance 😊
