"Coach Bryan's Death Camp"

I was taking video of my swimmers a couple years back and one of my kids looks at the camera and says "Welcome to Coach Bryan's death camp!" Our dryland is pretty hard. However, they are smart enough to know why we do the things we do. They are told from the beginning that when you work hard you get stronger and faster. The dryland portion of our workouts are very intense and are often considered the hardest part of the day. My regular dryland routine consists of fun, yet challenging exercises that creatively involve the following ideas:
Running
Jumping
Pushing
Pulling
Crawling
Abs
Coordination
Balance
Plyometrics
I think it is important to make dryland fun for the kids while making it something that they are going to get a lot out of. I notice that out of every new group of 40+ kids that I get each season, only 5 or 6 of them are truly athletic. So, the activities we do in our dryland routine are based on creating athletes. I hope that by having more athletes we will have better swimmers that will be good at more than just water based competition. Watch the video and you can see some of the things we do. I would be interested to see what other teams do for dryland with their younger kids. Please let me know if there are some things that you believe in and do in your dryland routine.
