Who it’s for

  • Swimmers who want more strength and power
  • Athletes getting ready for high school sport
  • Beginners — many start having never lifted a weight
  • Multi-sport athletes who also swim
My son is a competetive swimmer. A workout for a swimmer is totally different than that of any other sport. Aaron's academic and practical knowledge combined with his holistic view and care for the welfare of each client is what sets him apart.

How we train it

Every athlete starts with a baseline and is retested as often as weekly, and parents see the numbers in the Universal Speed Rating app. Our guarantee: at least 1 mph faster and 2–3 inches higher on the vertical in 90 days — or your training is on us.

01

Speed.

Timed on the gates.

Acceleration, top speed and change of direction, measured so progress is visible.

02

Strength.

Technique before load.

Foundational strength first, then loaded progressions as the athlete earns them.

03

Power.

Explosive lower body.

Jumps and explosive work, tested on the approach and standing vertical.

In Coach Aaron’s words

“The last two things we’ll do is the approach vertical and the standing stationary vertical. We like to see linear movement, lateral movement, and then lower body power.”

My daughter is a runner and needed to start strength work and my son is a swimmer - also needing strength work. Neither had ever worked with weights before so I wanted to make sure they were doing it correctly. Aaron came up with individual workout plans since their needs are different.

Overall, he is very knowledgeable in knowing how to train swimmers and just about any other sport. If you are serious about being your best, then his style will be very beneficial.
