I am looking to see what everyone out there is doing for there dryland program or strength program.
I work at a facility called IHPSWIM and we take a functional approach to our training. We are taking the intensity to the next level since taper is right around the corner,
Here is what we did yesterday with the Fort Lauderdale aquatics of Boca Raton.
Leg Circuit
3 x
24 squats
24 lunges
24 split jumps
12 jump squats
(we do this twice through non - stop in under 2:30)
That is a total of 6 sets - killer leg workout!
We finished with some core work and some rope climbing.
What are you guys doing out there or what questions do you have?

I will have to pick up that book - always good to get antoher point of view.
We train all of our swimmers under the philosophy that core stability and rotation play a huge role in improving technique and producing power in the water. What do you guys think?
That book is "THE" book about dry land training for swimming.
As far as core goes - I would go as far to say that one NEEDS a strong core to swim well. (Strong of course being relative to body weight and build). The rest of it (rotation and stability) comes from building proper technique on top of that strong core that you're building.
