Swimming

Swimming here is two full regimens and the dryland that makes the pool work transfer. Katie Ledecky’s file is distance freestyle: aerobic volume, then the focused strength sessions out of the water, including the explosive work that shows up again in Simone Biles’ plyometrics. Léon Marchand’s file is the individual medley under Bob Bowman, with a weight room that echoes the Phelps years and a sleep schedule treated as part of training.

Ledecky’s primary Olympic filing and Marchand’s swimming filing are the same athletes from two doors. Read both if you are building a week. The pool is the sport; the dryland is why the strength hub and the conditioning hub both list them.

Ronaldo’s weighted swimming is the crossover from football, linked inside his own guide. Mobility and recovery holds Marchand’s sleep notes and Ledecky’s easier days. Gymnastics is the Olympic neighbour when you want power rather than distance.

Start with Katie Ledecky’s week — distance freestyle plus dryland strength.
