Dryland training refers to strength, conditioning, and flexibility exercises performed outside the water to enhance the performance of aquatic athletes, such as swimmers and divers. These workouts help improve overall strength, core stability, balance, endurance, and agility, which are crucial for movements and performance in the water.

For divers, dryland training often includes exercises that develop explosive power, flexibility, coordination, and spatial awareness, which are essential for executing precise dives. The training may involve activities like plyometrics, weightlifting, resistance training, core exercises, and flexibility work, along with drills that simulate movements used in diving routines.

In swimming, dryland training focuses on building muscle groups used in strokes and improving cardiovascular fitness to enhance speed and efficiency in the water.
