Swim Training: Nailing The Off-Season

What Training Produces Performance?
I think it is important to set the context of training in general before myopically focusing on how to approach early- season training. No matter what your level, improved performance arrives from consistency in effective (specific) training. Like layers of an onion, results are achieved with days of training strung together for many weeks, months and even seasons. The consistent athlete who does not miss massive chunks of time with injury, fatigue or decreased motivation will always prosper in the long run. It is obvious that you cannot rush great performance. The old saying goes, “it takes 10 years to be great at anything” and while you won’t want to wait 10 years to see results, you should understand that consistency will prevail. Set up your training in a smart and specific manner, and the outcome will be optimal results, which is what you should be after.
