As the days grow longer and temperatures get warmer, many of us are ready to move from bracing winter dips to longer, more sustained swims and may have even booked a swim event. While we’ve kept up our cold water exposure, our endurance, strength and technique may have taken a backseat over recent months. Combining your swim training with a structured dryland training plan, whether at home or in the gym, will help you make the most of the season ahead, regaining your fitness, power and efficiency.
