I combine functional strength drills with targeted mobility work to build the foundation you need for better endurance and injury-free swimming. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This is a look at the variety in our strength and conditioning work.

My training sessions start on the floor, focusing on functional movements like Olympic lifting, TRX, and core-stabilizing posture holds. By the time we hit the water, your muscles are already primed for power, and your body is ready to hold the form needed for an efficient, injury-free stroke. ### Building the Foundation Most people think swimming training happens only in the water, but the real work starts on land. At my gym, Athletes’ Revolution, we focus on the specific physical demands of swimming—building shoulder health, core stability, and rotational power. ### My Training Method Every group session follows a structured protocol. We spend the first 15 minutes of every hour on mandatory high-intensity dry-land drills—think active stretching, core activation, and mobility work. This isn't a generic gym workout; it is designed to prep your body for the pool. We use a mix of: * **Strength work:** Barbell lifts, pull-ups, and rows to build functional muscle. * **Posture holds:** Single-leg rises and straddle holds to improve balance and stability in the water. * **Flexibility & Mobility:** Passive stretching and hip openers to ensure you can reach full range of motion during your strokes without tightness. ### Why Dry-Land Matters If you want to move fluidly, you have to work on your mobility outside the water. Without proper flexibility, you are limited by your own tightness, which often leads to injuries or poor technique. I work with beginners and intermediate swimmers at Golden Fins to ensure your land-based training directly translates to how you move in the pool. Whether you are looking to improve your freestyle efficiency or need to fix a specific stroke, we break down your mechanics through video analysis and then use specific strength drills to correct them. Discipline is everything. If you are ready to put in the work, I will help you build a stronger, faster version of yourself. ## About Shantha Murthy I am a sprinter first, and I treat coaching like I treat my own training: with complete discipline.
