During the Training to Compete stage,there should be an emphasis on aerobic conditioning. This is the stage where there is greater
individualisation of fitness and technical training. The focus should still be on training rather than competition and the training
should be predominantly of high volume with low intensity workloads. It is important to emphasise that high volume, low intensity training
cannot be achieved in a limited time period, and therefore the time commitment to training should increase significantly. As the volume of
training increases there is likely to be a reduction in the number of competitions undertaken. However, there should now be specific targets
for each competition undertaken with a view to learning basic tactics and mental preparation. There should be either single or double
periodisation of the training year.
During this stage, training should continue to develop suppleness and to include the use of ‘own body weight’ exercises eg. medicine ball
and Swiss ball exercises. However, towards the end of this stage, preparations should be made for the development of strength which, for
girls, occurs at the end of this stage and for boys at the beginning of the next stage. This should include learning correct weight
lifting techniques. The ancillary capacities (the knowledge base of how to warm up and warm down; how to stretch and when to stretch;
how to optimise nutrition and hydration; mental preparation; regeneration; how and when to taper and peak; pre-competition,
competition and post competition routines) should be established.
Similar to the previous stage, if insufficient time is devoted to this stage or it is missed, then the young swimmer will never reach
their full potential.
