Every athlete responds differently to training.
Have you ever seen your swimmers nail every set in practice only to underperform at meets? Chances are, they’re responding to the training in ways you didn’t expect. Coaches juggle dozens of swimmers each with unique strengths, weaknesses, and progress curves. Some swimmers need higher-intensity training; others require more rest before meets. Certain athletes risk overtraining, while others risk undertraining all because the same program can yield vastly different results across your team.
