Livin’ Like Larry: How to Step up Your Dryland Game (Video)
When we visited Phoenix Swim Club for Practice + Pancakes, we were lucky enough to see their dryland routine in action, which was a little bit different than what most teams do once out of the pool.
Dryland Stations with Larry Arnold
This circuit takes the swimmers through four types of equipment, Kettlebells, Medicine Balls, 1/2 Bosu Balls, and Power Plates. They go through each of those stations for :60 on :10 off for 5 rounds where the exercise changes each round.
Kettlebell Streamline Snatch
This group has done the exercise a lot this fall and every time Larry Arnold explains it I’m more convinced that this is why our walls are sharper than ever.

420 burpies. Sounds basic but like everything with Larry Arnold, even the simplest exercise can be made into a layered workout.
Dryland: Turkish Getups
Larry Arnold takes swimmers from Phoenix Swim Club through a well known exercise focused on body and breath control.

Over 20 minutes of strength building that doubles for aerobic training.
Kettlebells for Swimmers
It’s short course season and speed in and out of the walls can win or lose a race. Explosive strength can make the difference and developing that type of strength was the goal for this kettlebell progression with Larry Arnold.
Dryland: Running 101 with Larry Arnold

How can a rockette line help you finish your race? Larry Arnold will explain how.
Solutions to Sore Swimmer Shoulders
Fixing injuries is more than just relieving the pain. It’s re-learning the movement.
Catching Air: Dynamic Squat Jumps
Those swimmers who are able to carry a breathing rhythm in the water have a much better time finding easy speed in the early parts of the race and enough air for quality finishing speed at the end of races.

Climbing Camelback with Larry Arnold
How can any dryland make you a better swimmer? Some great minds believe that there is no direct correlation between building strength on land and increased strength in the water. For the most part, I agree. But what about coordination?
