Max Strength Development and Technique Foundation is to establish a solid base of raw
power and refined technique that will serve as the foundation for speed and performance improvements in the following months.

The focus is on building maximal strength in key muscle groups through resistance-based swim workouts and dryland training, ensuring swimmers can generate more force in the water. Simultaneously, this phase emphasizes the refinement of stroke mechanics, streamlining, and breathing techniques to maximize efficiency and minimize drag.

By integrating strength development with technique-focused drills, athletes will improve their ability to maintain proper form under increased resistance and fatigue. This foundational work sets the stage for translating strength into speed and power in later phases of the training program.
