3 Important Things to Consider Before Your Survival Swimming Workout

Do you do survival swimming training? If not, you should. And here are some things to consider the next time you jump in the water!

Survival swimming is an important skill to have in case of an unexpected or unintentional water emergency.

With the proper knowledge and skill, survival swimming can help save your life. To ensure that you have the best possible experience, there are several important things to consider before engaging in a survival swimming workout.

In this blog post, we will discuss three important things to consider before your survival swimming workout.

Gear

Having the right gear is a critical element of a successful survival swimming workout.

It is important to choose a swimsuit that is comfortable and allows for full range of motion. Additionally, you will need goggles to protect your eyes from the chlorine, and perhaps a swim cap to keep your hair dry and out of your face.

You may also choose to use earbuds to keep water out of your ears.

Structured Workout

Before you embark on your survival swimming workout, it’s important to have a plan.

A structured workout will help you stay on track and ensure that you are getting the most out of your exercise. Create a workout plan that includes warm-up exercises, strength training, and cardiovascular training.

Incorporate drills to help you become comfortable with the movements you need to survive in the water. Don’t forget to include rest periods in between sets and make sure you are adequately hydrated.

Planning a structured workout will help you achieve your goals and make the most of your training, whether it be swimming or something else.

Aftercare

It's important to take some time after your workout to cool down, stretch, and refuel.

A cool-down period of 10-15 minutes after your workout will help to regulate your breathing and heart rate, while stretching can help to reduce tension and stress in your muscles.

Rehydrating and refueling after your workout can help you to replenish lost energy and ensure that your body is properly nourished for the next time you hit the pool.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the key to a great survival swimming workout is to make sure you have the right equipment, environment and mindset.

With the right tools, you'll be able to maximize your results and have a safe and enjoyable experience in the water.

Keep these tips in mind and you're sure to have a successful and rewarding workout.
