ObjectiveTo describe the current use of dry‐land training in swimmers by age category.DesignRandomized sampling questionnaire.SettingWeb‐based survey.ParticipantsNinety‐seven coaches from swim clubs throughout the United States.Main Outcome MeasuresDry‐land training use, frequency, duration, mode of exercise, and exercise by body region in the following groups: ≤10 years, 11‐14 years, 15‐18 years, collegiate, and masters swimmers (≥18 years, noncollegiate).ResultsAmong the surveyed coaches (n = 97), dry‐land training use varied by swimmers' age (≤10 years [54%], 11‐14 years [83%], 15‐18 years [93%], collegiate [86%], and masters [26%]) and type of training modality (age ≤18 years [body weight exercises, stretching]; collegiate [free weight/machine weights and body weight exercises]; and masters [weight and cardiovascular training]). The most common body region exercised for all categories except masters was the spine/core, followed by the proximal leg, and then the shoulder. Masters swimmers focused on the shoulder region, followed by the spine. The primary reason for participation in dry‐land training was injury prevention for all categories except masters. Limited practice time was the most common reason for not using dry‐land training.ConclusionsA total of 50%‐93% of swim coaches surveyed for all groups except masters incorporated some form of dry‐land training; they used body weight exercises in younger swimmers. The focus of dry‐land training among swimmers ≤18 years and collegiate swimmers was the spine/core. These findings may be used to develop future studies on how dry‐land training contributes to performance or injuries, especially in the younger swimmer.
