Swim Speed Lab (8-Week) - Shoulder-Safe Speed System for Triathletes & Swimmers
Swim faster without wrecking your shoulders.
Swim Speed Lab is an 8-week, evidence-informed system that builds speed in layers-mechanics → force → power → sprint-while keeping a strict shoulder longevity framework (pain rules, technique gate, and smart progressions). Designed for triathletes and swimmers who want more speed per stroke, not just more meters.
What you get inside:
✅ 8-Week Swim + Dryland Plan (minimum effective dose: 3 swims/week + 2 dryland sessions/week)
✅ 3 Swim Sessions with warm-ups + phase-based main sets:
- Swim A: Catch Mechanics + Speed Skill
- Swim B: Pull Power + Scap Control
- Swim C: Rotation Engine + Speed Endurance
- ✅ 2 Dryland Sessions (25-40 min) to build the “shoulder chassis” + rotation power:
- Dryland 1: Scap + Rotator Cuff + T-Spine
- Dryland 2: Cords + Trunk Rotation + Swim Power
- ✅ Technique Cue Cards (simple: 1 cue per set = faster learning)
- ✅ Drill Library (choose 1–2 per session to fix what’s actually breaking)
- ✅ Progression Rules for paddles/bands/cords (so you progress without flare-ups)
- ✅ Shoulder Pain Decision Tree (green/yellow/red rules + red flags)
- ✅ Testing Sheets + Tracking
- 200m TT
- 8×25 sprint set (best + average)
- Stroke metrics (strokes per length)
- Week-by-week tracker + session logs
- ✅ Time-crunched option (2 swims/week) so you still improve when life gets busy
- ✅ Key references / recommended reading included
Perfect for you if…
- You’re a triathlete who’s strong on bike/run but wants the swim to stop costing you time.
- You want speed and shoulder durability (not “just swim more”).
- You feel your catch slipping, elbow dropping, crossing midline, shrugging, or losing pace as strokes per length climb.
The promise (Ecstatic-Training way)
You’ll build a cleaner catch, a stronger pull, and a better rotation engine-then convert it into real speed-using a system that prioritizes quality, technique thresholds, and smart load management.
