Swimmers and swim coaches have a new tool at their disposal for improving sprint swimming speeds at the pool. The 50 Freestyle Blueprint: The Swimmer’s Ultimate Guide to Winning the Splash and Dash has officially launched, delivering swimmers and coaches a step-by-step system for mastering sprint speed.
“Swimmers constantly make the same mistakes in training the 50,” says author Olivier Poirier-Leroy, a former national level swimmer, including 2x Olympic Trials qualifier. “They treat it like a short 100, don't use proper 'sprint' technique, or waste hours doing training that is not specific to the unique demands of the 50 freestyle. This book is designed from top to bottom to help swimmers understand how sprint swimming actually works so that they can train smarter.”
Backed by over 250 peer-reviewed studies in biomechanics, physiology, and sprint performance, as well as decades of accumulated practical experience swimming and coaching at the highest levels of the sport, The 50 Freestyle Blueprint is the most evidence-based guide ever written for the event.
What swimmers and coaches can expect to learn inside the 220+ page manual:
-
Why sprint freestyle technique is completely different from “regular” freestyle, and proven methods for training the right way.
-
How to build explosive starts and underwaters that carry speed through the breakout and to the surface.
-
Sprint training strategies proven to unlock faster stroke rates, more pulling power, kick tempo, and more.
-
How to structure sprint-specific dryland training for maximum carryover to the pool.
-
20 evidence-based sprint sets that remove the guesswork from practice.
Also included is a bonus 54-page guide to the 100 freestyle, packed with pacing strategies, stroke adjustments, and race-day tactics to help swimmers master both sprint distances.
"When you combine the two, the aspiring sprinter has everything they need to dominate the two fastest events in the pool," says Poirier-Leroy.
The 50 Freestyle Blueprint is available as an instant-download PDF for $59 USD and the book is exclusively sold at YourSwimLog.com, Poirier-Leroy's website. Readers get instant access to the guides and sets, and the material can be read and viewed on any digital device, perfect for swimmers and coaches on the go.
The 50 Freestyle Blueprint is an advanced guide is not marketed towards beginners. It’s designed specifically for experienced swimmers looking to break through plateaus, coaches searching for evidence-based tools, and athletes hungry to smash PBs in the 50 freestyle.
