Land Training

Sailfish Swim Academy incorporates land training as part of its comprehensive swim program to help students improve their overall swimming performance.

The program starts with a 15-minute warm-up, which includes head movements, arm swings, and squats to get the body ready for more intense exercises. This is followed by a 15-minute running session with speed up and speed maintain calls to improve cardiovascular endurance.

For students aged 7 years old and above, the academy provides a 20-minute stroke strength training session. This includes exercises such as arm circles, shoulder taps, mountain climbers, plank arm rises, skating squats, lunges squats, stream line squats, back up alternate arms, back up airplane circles, and backstroke kicks at a 45-degree angle. These exercises help build strength in the muscles used during swimming strokes and improve technique.

To ensure proper form and technique, the academy also offers a 10-minute stroke correction session that focuses on double and single hand catch, fast pulls for freestyle, breaststroke with streamlines, backstroke with one hand up and one hand down, and butterfly stroke with arm and head movements.

Finally, the academy includes a 5-minute stretching session to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. This includes neck stretches, shoulder rows, prone chest stretches, reverse bridges, sitting hamstring stretches, triceps stretches, butterfly stretches, knee to chest stretches, and extended puppy poses.

Overall, land training at Sailfish Swim Academy provides numerous benefits to students, including increased strength, improved technique, better coordination and balance, and reduced risk of injury.
