PODIUM PHYSICAL PREPARATION PROGRESSION

Built for the podium.

A structured, five-module physical preparation system for swimmers and coaches — what to train, why it works, and how to progress it from foundation to race-ready.

In partnership with CVASPS

How it works

Three steps to a stronger swimmer.

No guesswork. The same stepwise process used with podium-level athletes, packaged so any swimmer or coach can follow it.

Learn the framework

Five focused modules covering the principles, the exercises, and the reasoning behind every progression.

Apply it in the gym

Coaching cues, troubleshooting guides, and safety guidelines to run sessions with confidence — solo or with a team.

Progress to the podium

Follow the progression season over season, with a clear next step at every stage of development.
