What is Dryland Training? Dryland training takes place, you guessed it, on dry land. The goal is to use strength and conditioning exercises to increase power, mobility, and flexibility. For swimmers, this means the ultimate goal is to become more explosive in the water, increase speed and stroke rate, and improve distance per stroke.

​

Westside Strength & Conditioning uses a combination of stretching, resistance training and plyometric movements to help athletes achieve excellence in the pool. Along with becoming a stronger, more explosive athlete—your child will gain considerable confidence, which is probably even more important. Your swimmer will be taught how to utilize scientifically proven training methods to maximize his or her power–while at the same time, promoting mobility and recovery–with the added bonus of increasing awareness of his or her body in space (proprioception).

You can expect the sessions to be educational and fun... getting them hooked on seeing progress is one of our top priorities. Dryland Training Specialists will work with your athlete every step of the way to execute a program that will reduce the risk of injury, while preparing for competition at a higher level.
