A set we like to use at Long Eaton Swimming Club, Derbyshire England is called "man ups". Its a basic complex training set that hurts but is great fun.
Straight through the following:
10 Press ups
50m swim max effort
10 squats
50m swim max effort
10 Dips
50m swim max effort
10 Calf raises
50m swim max effort
Our top lane swimmer go around 2:10 200 free and their turnaround is 3:45 for 8 Man Ups. You can add Med Balls or weights to increase the intensity of some of the exercises if you want. Another variation is for IM, obviously the 50's are IM order but the exercises change to hit the strokes as close as possible, so V sits before Fly, Dips before Back, Squats before Breast and press ups before Free. Have fun and "MAN UP"Labels: Dryland, In-Water Strength, Quality, Speed, Sprint
