Whats a good swim set for someone training for highschool waterpolo?

Question

Im going to coach my brother because I have been a swimmer for over four years now.

Is swimming training and water polo training any different?

Should I work on breathing with him, like lung busters?

Do I need to teach him good stroke?

Please share tips.

( He has never swam before )

Answer 1

actually, swimming for polo and for swimming are different. for polo you need faster shorter strokes than for swimming. however, you should still train him in proper stroke teqnique so that he can swim the other strokes well also.

Answer 2

if's he's never swam before i would recommend starting with the basics so he doesn't develop bad habits and swim wrong
