Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is a sports development framework that is based on human growth and development.
In short, it is about adopting an athlete centred approach to swimming development.
All young people follow the same pattern of growth from infancy through adolescence,
but there are significant individual differences in both the timing and magnitude of the changes that take place.
It is however important to stress that human growth and development happens without training, however swimming training
can enhance all of the changes that take place.
A number of scientists have reported that there are critical periods in the life of a young person in which the effects of training can be maximised. This has led to the notion that young people should be exposed to specific types of training during periods of rapid growth and that the types of training should change with the patterns of growth. These have been used to devise a five stage LTAD framework that has been adapted to swimming:
• FUNdamental – basic movement literacy;
• SwimSkills – building technique;
• Training to train – building the engine;
• Training to compete – optimising the engine;
• Training to win – maximising the engine
