Here is our collection of distance swim sets and workouts that include practices from Olympic coaches Gregg Troy, Ray Benecki, and also feature workouts from the greatest female distance swimmer of all time, Katie Ledecky. Whether it is improving your breakouts and underwater dolphin kick, to having a strong and steady 6-beat kick throughout your races, having monster legs means that you are also able to keep better body positioning in the water, and will also keep your technique intact at the end of your races.
Within our collection of kick sets you will find a little something for everyone. There is high intensity blast kick work, higher volume aerobic stuff, and a whole bunch of kicking sets that will target your underwater dolphin kick.

But any time you tear tissues in the body, you also create scar tissue.
Microfibers are a mild form of scar tissue that form around the muscles as an internal cast to facilitate the repair process. These microfibers cannot be released by stretching. The problem is that there is an initial improvement in swim times as it takes about two years for the microfibers to accumulate to the point where they reduce flexibility.
From over 30 years working with age-group, masters and elite swimmers, we have found the fastest swimmers are the ones who have the greatest flexibility in stroke-specific ranges. Three of these ranges are the expansion of the stomach, diaphragm and chest. Bench presses and sit-ups constrict these ranges, reducing the ability to take in oxygen. One of our swimmers who lifted a lot held a national record at 50 meters, but was never competitive at meters. After we released the microfibers caused by her lifting, she went on to win 4 Gold Medals, all at m distances.
As one of our swimmers pointed out, people can swim around 5 miles an hour, while small fish can swim 25 miles an hour. Fish are more flexible than people. Plus, you see very few fish working out in weight rooms. Why do you recommend alternating shoulder presses? This is not only dangerous as it takes you off balance, it puts you at risk of injury.
More advanced weight trainers might do alternating shoulder presses but start off with both hands at once. My teenage kids started lifting because our pool is not always open. They just had a meet first one in 8 months they dropped major time in every event.
