Achieving true insight & individualization in swimming, introducing Swimming Strong’s Race Analysis and 3MT Physiological Profiling systems.
At Swimming Strong it is our mission to maximise the potential of swimmers through innovation and insight. We want to make a unique set of tools which are practical, powerful, and highly valid available to the wider coaching community. It is our mission to support coaches in achieving true individualisation and the realisation of each swimmer’s potential. Through utilising our Race Analysis and 3MT Physiological Profiling systems it is possible to reduce the guesswork and make the training process more productive and enjoyable for all involved. Education is a vital step within our coaches’ journey, and we are excited to present on 3-Minute-All-Out Applied Physiology and Race Analysis Benchmarking & Goal-Setting to WSCA members.
