Strength & Conditioning for Masters Swimmers

THE CHALLENGE & THE SOLUTION

Your swimming isn't generic. Your strength training shouldn't be either.

Masters swimmers balance pool training, work, recovery and competition. Your gym programme should support those demands, not compete with them.

THE PROBLEM

A gym plan that ignores your swim week.

Generic programmes can overlook pool volume, racing, recovery and your available time. The result? Gym sessions that don't always support what you're trying to achieve in the water.

THE OXOLT SOLUTION

Strength built around your swimming.

Purposeful strength and conditioning designed around your goals, experience, equipment and swim schedule. With individual coaching, your programme evolves through feedback, progression and adjustments.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know before building your performance team.

OXOLT S&C is built for Masters swimmers who want their strength training to have a clear purpose. Whether you're training for PBs, British, European or World Masters competition, or simply want to become stronger and more resilient in the water, your programme is built around your swimming, your goals and the time you have available.

No. OXOLT works with Masters swimmers across a wide range of abilities and experience. You don't need to be an elite athlete — you need to want to improve. Your programme is scaled to your current level, training demands and goals.

No. A gym can give you more options, but your programme is built around the equipment you actually have available. Whether you train in a fully equipped gym or at home with a more limited setup, your coach can programme effectively around it.

Bespoke S&C is £60 per month and includes your bespoke training programme, ongoing coaching and regular programme updates. After joining, you'll complete your initial assessment so your coach can understand your swimming, goals, training history and available equipment. Your programme is then built around you and adapted as your training and needs change.

Your programme is built around your swimming, not simply your strength numbers. Your coach considers your stroke, events, training schedule, competition goals, training history, available equipment and recovery demands when designing your programme.

Your programme can be adapted as things change. Changes to swimming volume, competitions, work, recovery, equipment or how you're feeling can all be taken into account so your training continues to fit your life.

It shouldn't. The aim is to make your strength training support your swimming rather than compete with it. Your programme is planned around your pool training, recovery and competition schedule so that the gym work has a clear purpose.

You receive a bespoke S&C programme built around your swimming, ongoing coaching and programme adjustments as your training develops. The aim isn't to give you more exercises — it's to give you the right training for what you're trying to achieve in the pool.

Your safety comes first. Before starting S&C, you'll complete a health screening questionnaire so your coach can understand any relevant health conditions, injuries or other factors that may affect your training. If your answers indicate that you need medical clearance or further assessment before exercising, we'll advise you to speak with an appropriate healthcare professional before your programme begins. Your coach will work within their qualifications and scope of practice and won't diagnose or treat medical conditions.
