Swimmers what do you think?

Question

What in your opinion is better to do...

land training before you swim or...

swim before you do your land training...

I'm trying to figure out which would be better for my swimming workout

Answer 1

Land training before you swim.

Answer 2

Personally, I find that the risk of injury doing dryland is higher after swim practice.  You are more broken down and probably won't get a complete workout in (meaning one where 100% effort is given).  It depends on how much yardage you are doing in the pool.  If you do do it after a really hard practice that breaks you down, just be careful and take your time doing things that require a "certain way of doing it properly"(don't know how else to say it).

Answer 3

I personally like to do my dryland before I swim.

Answer 4

I like to do dryland first. When I do dryland I do a 15 minute run, run up and down stairs, crunches, push ups, jumps where you start in a squat and jump up into a streamline (do it for 20 seconds and rest), lunges (take a step and lunge untill your knee touches the ground, then take another step...), and medicine ball exercises.

Answer 5

We do stretching and med balls after we go swimming. I used to do land training first but we switched. The new way feels better for me.

Answer 6

Swim!

Answer 7

I would do swimming before land. And i do a theraband workout.

Answer 8

for dry land we first run for like 10 minutes, do about 10 suicides, to about 10 sets of squats back and forth across a tennis court (so a lot), then we do squat jumps, then we do abs, then we do inverted pushups on parallel bars, then we do jump ropes for like 20 min, then we do med ball stuff for like 20 min.

Answer 9

Swim training before land training your heart beats already up and your body is still in fast calorie burning mode and your muscles have been stretched and the after swim training its better I know I've been strength swimming for years

Answer 10

swim before, a lot of stretching, then weights + exercises like situps

Answer 11

i'd do dry land before. do a 2 hr practice and do half and half. do situps, pushups, and squats

Answer 12

dryland after swim because u will get really tired if ur dryland is tiring so your swimming wont be as good.
