With the 2025/2026 swim season reaching its conclusion, I'm sure you're already looking ahead to September and how you can improve.
 
I've put together a four-week off-season plan with one goal: to make you a technically awesome swimmer who is also FAST.
 
This is not a programme that will take over your life. Just 3 sessions a week, each much shorter than what you're used to, and heavily engaging. Drills, skills and fast swimming. Aerobic conditioning is not the focus of these four weeks, and that's deliberate.
 
Here's why. In trained age-group swimmers who took four weeks completely off, VO₂ max came back statistically unchanged. What did drop was the stroke: stroke rate by up to 8%, stroke index by up to 9.4%. Your engine survives a break far better than your technique does.
 
Without the pressure of regular competitions and coaches' judgment, you can work through these off-season workouts and acquire skills you never thought you could master. Take control of your own swimming and raise your ceiling for the incoming season.
 
What you get: 4 weeks · 3 sessions a week · 12 sessions in total · works in any pool · no club, coach or squad needed · start whenever you like.
 
Half price until midnight Tuesday 11 August. £49.50 instead of £99.
