As a part of our Research, Development and Innovation program, Olympic Training Center Rovaniemi is running a competitive and high performance swimming development program called ‘Modern Dryland Training’. It started from a simple idea of creating better solutions to dryland training for swimmers and coaches globally. Along the way, the focus has shifted to a bigger picture. Today it seems paramount, that we raise topics that have a modern approach about the synergy of dryland and pool training.

The harsh reality of training have been called The Grind. Finding your top speed requires a lot of work, focus and dedication. The quality and quantity debate is familiar to many of us, and the right balance can give an answer to the big question; how fast can I really go? For many years swimmers have tried to find an answer to this. Some might have found it, some not.
