We use dryland boxing in our strength training program that helps swimmers achieve their goals. When we set goals at the Race Club we have a range of parameters that will achieve the ‘perfect’ race. This includes stroke rate, swim technique, breathing pattern and splits. Once we have the perfect race mapped out we practice on dryland. Using the boxing gloves allows contact that will enhance the strength training aspect of this exercise. It can also be done without gloves and contact. This is a great exercise because it not only informs the swimmer physically but how to achieve their respective goal mentally.
