At NX Level we work to develop sport specific power to help each individual athlete reach his or her performance goals. Power development is accomplished through speed and strength training.

Speed Training
Specifically, a swimmer needs to train both in the water and dry land deck to accelerate off the blocks and in the water. Water acceleration goes hand in hand with flexibility. A swimmer must be extremely limber to get full extension to ensure full shoulder rotation to pull them through the water.

Strength Training
Shoulder integrity is crucial to swimming performance and must constantly address the internal mechanisms of the shoulder and hand. Strong hands and shoulders can feel and manipulate the water to avoid overuse issues and maintain shoulder mobility. NX Level will use all full body lifts such as Olympic variations, front and back squats, varied pressing angles with some bar work but predominately dumbbells, flexibility and core stability and dry land conditioning for the sport of swimming.
