While some parts of the country are enjoying beautiful warm temps, in CT we are still bundled up in hoodies. Eventually the April Showers will make way for May Flowers and sunshine and less overall gloominess. And with that, I sure hope we will have the opportunity to swim outside since the pools are indeed still closed.
I am a firm believer in making do with what I have and not wasting time. Would I like to have access to a home gym with tons of equipment. Sure. Can I be creative and get stronger with the limited equipment I currently have available? YES.
Can I currently swim 3 times a week? NO. Can I work on technique at home so I won’t lose all of my hard earned swim gains? YES.
Here is at home workout for you. It is a combination of Dry Land Swim drills and Core Work. By no means is my technique perfect. Focus on your form. Quality over Quantity!
