A Strong Boat ... Is a fast Boat !
Welcome to the Shipyard...
A Shipyard is a place where we take a boat out of the water....Make it stronger and more powerful...and put it back in the water.
Water is a thick substance, but we cannot make it any thicker,say on a Tuesday and a Thursday than what it already is, to create more resistance when we swim. Not even our training aids are enough to get our boat as strong as we need it.
The Shipyard will give you a training plan to achieve the following goals:
- Step up your strength every 12 weeks
- Help you avoid injuries
- Help you feel what muscles are needed for each stroke
- What does a strong boat look like & feel like in water
- How to balance my time in the shipyard and my water performance
This Shipyard schedule takes you through multiple phases of sculpting muscles where you need them. Every swim stroke has its own group of core muscles for that stroke to work effectively and consistently.
You will do level 1 & 2 & 3...x3 times with 3 different coloured bands
You start at level 1 with the lightest resistent band.
You stick to level 1 for 6 weeks.
Then focus on level 2 for 6 weeks
Then focus on level 3 for 6 weeks.
We then change the resistent band to a stronger more resistent one and start the process again.
Focus on level 1 for 6 weeks & level 2 for 6 weeks and so on.
Until we have completed level 1 - 3...x3 times...with 3 different coloured resistent bands
Level 4 is Body Weight. Let me explain something to you !! Let's say your boat weighs 60kg.
You have to be really strong to be pulling and lifting and extending your boat in every direction without injuring a joint or ligament or tendon. By the time you have completed level 1 - 3 x3 times with 3 different colored bands of resistence, we will be better prepared for attempting to control the weight of your whole boat.
Level 5 is from age 16 and older only. Providing that you have gone through the levels as explained above. If you are a new boat in the water...then we start from the beginning to keep your boat safe, develop your engines well and get in good condition for water performance.
We are constantly testing different resistent bands...
so phone me before you buy one.
