System for Swimmers and other Athletes
The Bottom Line
The Super Sport System looks like a good tool for
swimmers and swim coaches. The swim workout planning system will
help swimmers maximize their chances of achieving their swimming
goals. It uses well-researched exercise science principles along
with each swimmer's individual parameters to design long-range
swim training plans, seasonal swimming training plans, weekly
swimmer's training plans, and individual swim workouts that will
help any level of swimmer reach their swimming goals.

Guide Review - 3S Super Sport Coaching System
for Swimmers and other Athletes
The Super Sport System offers an easy to use
on-line system for coaches, swimmers (and other athletes -
runners, cyclists, triathletes, and rowers) to prepare their
training plans. Users can set-up teams (sets of athletes) or
individual athletes, then follow the step-by-step directions
that use current levels of fitness, past performances, and
projected goals to put together a training plan to move the
swimmer from where they are now to where they want to be.
The system takes age and reasonable
expectations into account. You cannot go from a 1-minute
100-meter freestyle swimmer to a 47-second 100-meter freestyler
in two months - and you may never be able to go that fast. The
system uses your progress to update future training, adapting to
your individual results as you progress.
One interesting feature is the "Result
Progression Chart" that shows an expected progression from
current ability or race results to future results. It
demonstrates the nature of adaptation and training cycles, with
varying rates of improvement based on the type of training being
done at different times of the year.
I recommend swimmers and coaches take a look
at the 3S - Super Sport System. It might give you or your
athletes the training edge that will help them achieve their
swimming potential. |
