Detailed Drill Choices: Utilize freestyle-specific drills, such as the Kayak Drill and One Arm Freestyle, to fine-tune your stroke technique and efficiency.
Goal-Oriented Sprints: Each sprint session encourages you to push past personal bests, training with a competitive mindset.
Progressive Structure: The plan cycles through recovery, build, endurance, and speed-focused weeks, allowing steady adaptation and avoiding burnout.
With this dynamic approach, you’ll gain strength, speed, and a solid foundation for peak swim performance. Follow this plan to stay consistent, improve technique, and feel race-ready by the end of the 13 weeks.
