Starting at Zero: Preparation Exercises

Good swimming technique starts with the right fundamentals.

Our preparation exercises are available for all four swimming strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. They focus on fundamental skills that are essential for safe, efficient, and technically sound swimming.

These exercises can be used to build technical fundamentals, correct mistakes, or prepare specific movement patterns.

Key areas

Feel for the Water

Learning to feel the water, control your body, and consciously perceive water resistance.

Breathing

Developing safe and effective breathing as the foundation for relaxed and performance-oriented swimming.

Wall Kicks

Targeted exercises to improve leg movement and push-off power.

Floating exercises

Developing the correct body position and body control in the water.

Gliding

Learning an efficient body position and how to make the most of the water.

Diving

Improving orientation, body tension, and confidence underwater.

Perfecting a style: Technique modules

The SwimHub360 system is structured around all four swimming strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

Developing Technique Systematically

Good swimming technique develops step by step. Every movement in the water builds upon the previous one, which is why skills should be trained in a logical progression rather than in isolation.

SwimHub360 follows a clear five-module structure – this progression transforms individual movement components into an efficient and technically sound swimming stroke.

Modules

1. Leg Movement Module

Leg movement provides the foundation for a stable body position and efficient propulsion. The first step focuses on isolating the kick so swimmers learn to generate propulsion while maintaining balance in the water.

2. Arm Movement Module

Once the leg movement is established, the focus shifts to the arms. Swimmers develop the correct stroke mechanics, improve body position, and learn to use their arms efficiently for propulsion.

3. Breathing Module

Controlled breathing is essential for relaxed and efficient swimming. Breathing is gradually integrated into each stroke, allowing swimmers to coordinate their breathing without disrupting body position.

4. Coordination Module

After mastering legs, arms, and breathing individually, all elements are combined into one fluid movement. The goal is to develop smooth, economical, and well-coordinated swimming.

5. Pull and Push Phase Module

The final module refines propulsion by analyzing and improving the pull and push phases. Swimmers learn to use water resistance more effectively and maximize forward speed.

Three Training Variations Within Every Module

Each module includes different exercise variations to match different skill levels and training goals.

With a Kickboard

The kickboard helps isolate individual movements, allowing swimmers to focus entirely on the specific technical objective.

With and Without a Kickboard

Alternating between both variations helps transfer newly learned movements from supported practice into natural swimming.

Without a Kickboard

Swimmers perform the complete movement independently, integrating all technical elements into their own body position and stroke.

From Isolated Movement to Complete Swimming

The SwimHub360 philosophy is simple:

By combining a logical sequence of technique modules with multiple exercise variations, training plans can be tailored to every swimmer’s ability and individual needs.

Technique is not simply practiced. It is systematically developed.

Training for a performance goal

Our training plans cover all four swimming strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. They are available in four training categories: BASIC, PERFORMANCE, ENDURANCE, and SPRINT, allowing you to match every workout to your personal goals.

These plans are designed for swimmers who already have a solid technical foundation. You do not need to be a beginner, and you do not need a coach beside you for every session. Each workout provides clear guidance on what to swim, the required intensity, and the purpose of the session.

This makes your training more effective. Instead of swimming without structure, every session delivers a specific training stimulus. Depending on your plan, you can reinforce technique, improve endurance, increase overall performance, or develop speed and sprint power.

Another advantage is simplicity. Take your training plan to the pool, start your session, and follow the workout. Swimming becomes structured, purposeful training that supports continuous progress.

You do not just swim more. You swim with greater purpose, better structure, and a clear objective.
