GOAL SETTING for swimmers 🏊🏼♀️
Get started on a log book!
—————————————
1. Decide your overall goals for the season and follow the checklist:
🤔 Is it specific?
- Clearly state your goal
🤔 Is it measurable?
- Can you appropriately track the progress
🤔 Is it achievable?
- Can you accomplish this goal within a certain timeframe?
🤔 Is it relevant?
- Is your goal relevant to swimming and your overall plan?
🤔 What is the timeline?
- Give your goal a deadline. It could be a short-term or long-term goal!
2. Make sure NOT all of your goals are time-based.
- Sleep/Recovery goal 💤
- Nutrition/Hydration goal 💧
- Technique/Skill goal 🏊🏼♀️
Remember you can set a goal for training or racing… or both! Make sure your goals work around your life outside of swimming - we strive for a happy balance! 💪🏼
Setting goals are a great way to stay focused and motivated but they can also apply to a ‘bad’ session… give yourself a small goal even on the tough days! E.g. “I’m feeling like I don’t want to swim today so I will focus on trying to do 3-5 underwater kicks off of each wall to get better” ⭐️
