I have noticed that swimmers have really good bodies and are in great shape. What kind of training do they do?
I’d like to improve my swimming, and I certainly wouldn’t mind looking like a swimmer, either! Thanks for your help!

if you dont try, you dont get results. u really have to make sure your pushing your self. if your trying to easy you dont get results. if your going to practice your self. try doing non stop 10 min swims at 60% effort. then try doing a set. like, 2 laps in 1 min with 10 seconds rest and do that 20 times. then the next week try to do non stop 20 min swims at 60%. and 2 laps in 55 sec with 10 sec rest and do that 25 times. and keep doing harder sets each week. and try swimming 4 times a week. DONT FORGET TO WARM UP. give yourself a nice 10 min warm up. it may be boring but every time your swim your will have a song stuck in your head. hope i helped.
Swimming consistently is the key. All swimmers who take a break for a few weeks have a rough time getting back to being in shape. But as for getting a swimmers body, that takes a lot of patience. Interval training (swimming a certain distance in a certain amount of time, then going again) is key to swimmers training.
Swimming in general and doing cardio mixed in with some weights will definitely put you on the right track.
we do all kinds of training as a swimmer ,
we do in the water , where we practice our turns, starts, drills & techniques for every stroke, and speed of every stroke
we also do dryland and weight training , we do all kinds of machines for basically all muscles in the body , while in the wieght room
and for dryland we run , do pushups, sit ups , squats, lunges, medicine balls , physio balls and stretching ,
When i swam in the USA league i would swim for two hours Monday through Friday. But on Wednesdays we would go to the gym and do workout classes with a trainer. we used medicine balls and weights. we also did a mobility circuit before practice which included planks, crunches, sit ups, stretching,lunges, etc.
