When it comes to developing swimmers, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Every swimmer is different and will require a different technique set in order to reach their full potential. However, there are some general techniques that all swimmers can benefit from.
One of the most important things for developing swimmers is to ensure they have a strong foundation. This means having a good grip on the basics like stroke technique, starts, turns, and finishes. Once a swimmer has these basics down, they can start to focus on more specific techniques that will help them swim faster.
There are many different drills that swimmers can use to improve their technique. Some of these include swimming with fins, swimming with resistance bands, and practicing specific strokes over and over again. The key is to find the right mix of drills for each swimmer so that they can make the most progress possible.
Swimmers also need to focus on their mental game if they want to reach their full potential. This means staying positive and focused during practice and races. It can be helpful to visualise oneself swimming perfectly or to set specific goals to keep oneself motivated.
Developing swimmers takes time, patience, and dedication. However, the rewards are well worth it when you see a swimmer reach their full potential.
