ARTISTIC SWIMMING

Artistic Swimming training plans, built for your goal

Artistic swimming has almost nothing in common with lap swimming — routines are performed upside-down and underwater on a held breath, powered by a leg-only eggbeater kick strong enough to lift the torso clear of the water, all while staying in time with teammates. SportBlox builds your artistic swimming training plan around your goal, current level and whether you're training solo, duet or team elements.

Who it's for

Who it's for

Building breath-hold and eggbeater endurance

Progressive apnea and leg-strength training aimed at sustaining routine sections underwater.

Duet or team synchronisation

Timing-focused drills and choreography rehearsal for staying matched with a partner or team.

Recreational artistic swimming

Flexibility, water confidence and basic figure work for those training without a competitive goal.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like breath-hold duration under exertion, eggbeater kick height and stamina, timing precision with teammates and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

For coaches

Coaching an artistic swimming team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

FAQ

Artistic Swimming training plan FAQ

Is this the same as a lap swimming plan?

No — artistic swimming plans are built entirely differently, focused on breath-hold endurance, eggbeater leg strength, flexibility and choreography timing rather than stroke pace.

Does it cater for duet or team routines specifically?

Yes — tell it whether you're training solo, duet or team elements and sessions add the relevant synchronisation and lift work.

Is it suitable for someone new to artistic swimming?

Yes, set skill level to Inexperienced and the plan starts with water confidence, basic sculling and eggbeater technique before figure work.

How does it handle breath-hold training safely?

Apnea sessions progress gradually and should always be practised with a trained coach or buddy present, never alone.

Will it fit around my club's pool time?

Tell it your existing club sessions and supplementary conditioning and flexibility work is scheduled around them.
