We train at the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence, utilizing their Olympic-standard facilities to analyze your stroke mechanics and build speed. Whether you need to fix your hand entry in freestyle or sharpen your underwater phase, we treat every session like a competition warm-up. Swimming fast requires more than just laps. It demands technical precision and the right mindset. As an ASCA-certified coach who has represented India on the international stage, I structure these sessions to push you closer to your personal best. ### The Training Approach We focus on the four competitive strokes: Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly. My coaching goes beyond surface-level observation. We dive into the physics of your swim, adjusting your hydrodynamics, kick efficiency, and breathing patterns to reduce drag. ### Race Strategy & Mental Toughness Preparation isn't just physical. You need to know how to execute a race plan under pressure. We work on: * **Starts and Turns:** Mastering the explosive power of your start and the efficiency of your turns to shave seconds off your time. * **Pacing:** Learning how to split your race so you don't burn out before the final wall. * **Mental Conditioning:** Inspired by athletes like Michael Phelps, I teach you to handle competition nerves and maintain focus when it matters most. ### Logistics & Squads We operate at the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence in Betahalasuru, giving you access to professional heated pools that are essential for year-round training. Depending on your commitment level, we have two tiers: * **Weekend Competitive Squad:** Ideal for swimmers balancing other commitments who want to maintain high technical standards with 8 to 9 sessions per month. * **Weekday High-Performance Program:** A rigorous schedule for serious athletes, offering 20 to 22 sessions per month. This includes dryland conditioning to build the strength needed for explosive speed. If you are ready to work hard and want to see results, this is the place to be. ## About Praveen Babu I am Praveen Babu, and I live for the pool.
