I've enjoyed this thread. I have to say that "how to get stronger" is not really in any of my top 10 swimming concerns. I'm not fully sold in that str Perhaps it's because I swim with some Olympic Trials girls who are the size of toothpicks. In the meantime, I will continue to not sweat during my gym routine.
(S)he, I may be wrong but will assume that until you tell me otherwise these are the same high school age girls you've been training with. My suggestion is to look at what the gals at U of A or Auburn or doing for a more relevant comparison.
Strength is hands down one of the critical components to go to the next level" whether were talking about a high school girl making cuts vs. a high school girl who will final at trials (there are 2) or a USS club level swimmer (check out the Race Club site and maybe chat with Gary or Mike Bottom about strength) or a masters swimmer hanging on for dear life (Ande, me, John Smith, my wife Laura, Rich Abrahams, etc. etc.).
IMHO of course.
