Masters swimmers are getting out of pain, and even going lifetime bests without needing to spend hours grinding away in the gym and pool.
Age doesn’t slow you down - bad programming does. The fix starts with understanding your nervous system.
WHAT IS NEUROTYPING?
THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM
You train hard. You’re disciplined. You still love the sport.
But every time you try to push your limits, your body pushes back.
Soreness lasts longer. Recovery takes days. Times won’t drop.
You’re doing everything right - but your system isn’t responding like it used to.
And maybe you’ve started to believe you just can’t get the same results anymore because you can’t train as much as you used to.
But that’s not true...
I’ve seen Masters swimmers in their 40s and 50s go lifetime bests when they made one simple switch:
They stopped following grind-based programs and started training with their nervous system in mind.
It’s not your age that’s holding you back.
It’s how you’re training.
THE TRUTH
Most Masters swimmers follow programs designed for teenagers.
Different body. Different recovery ability. Different nervous system.
The result? Overtraining, stiffness, and plateaus.
The fix is matching training to your Neurotype - not someone else’s.
When your training finally aligns with how your brain and body adapt, your performance, recovery, and motivation all come back - fast.
HOW WE GET MASTERS SWIMMERS FASTER (WITHOUT BREAKING THEM DOWN)
We make it simple with a 3-step framework:
STEP 1: Discover Your Neurotype
Start with our Neurotype Test - a short, powerful process that identifies how your brain and body respond to training. You can take this test on the next page.
STEP 2: Follow Your Workouts In The App
We build your program around your unique type - balancing strength, speed, and mobility using the exact ratios and methods optimised for your nervous system.
STEP 3: Start Seeing And Feeling Results
As your body adapts, your training evolves with you. You’ll stay fast, fresh, and pain-free all season - no overtraining, no fatigue, no wasted effort.
This is how Masters swimmers go faster than they ever thought possible - while training less.
WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS NOT
✖️ A random “dryland circuit” that leaves you sore and slow
This isn’t about burpees, planks, or bodyweight chaos. Every session is designed to improve your performance in the pool - not drain you.
✖️ A bodybuilding or powerlifting plan
We’re not chasing muscle size or max lifts. We’re building functional strength and power that directly translates to faster swimming.
✖️ A one-size-fits-all dryland template
Every program starts with your Neurotype Test, meaning you’ll follow a system tailored to your nervous system and personality - not a generic template pulled from the internet or AI (God forbid).
✖️ A quick fix or 30-day challenge
You’ll see progress quickly - but this is about long-term, lasting results. This system builds consistent momentum, week after week.
✖️ A program that kills your recovery
Every session is designed to enhance your swimming - not interfere with it. You’ll get stronger, more powerful, and feel fresher in the pool.
WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS
✅ A neuroscience-based strength and mobility system built for Masters swimmers
You’ll train in a way that aligns with your neurotype - your unique brain chemistry and recovery capacity - so you adapt instead of burn out.
✅ Short, efficient sessions that make swimming feel fun again
2-3 sessions per week. 30-45 minutes each. Every exercise chosen for its benefits in the pool.
✅ Methods that build strength, athleticism, and control
We train for performance, not punishment. No wasted reps, no random fatigue for the sake of it.
✅ The same neurotype-driven system used by Olympians, Masters champions, and everyday swimmers
The difference? We tailor it to your nervous system and your personality.
✅ The perfect addition to any swim program
Even if your current program isn’t ideal, the Elite Membership fills in the missing pieces - giving you strength, speed, and resilience that transfer directly to your races.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
“I’m too old to get faster.”
You’re not. We see it all the time. Once your nervous system is tuned properly, speed and explosiveness come back fast - no matter your age.
“I don’t have time.”
You don’t need it. Each workout lasts 30–45 minutes, 2–3 times a week. That means you could spend an hour in the gym and still see results. Everything is designed to fit around your existing swim schedule and life. Many of our members build their own gym at home to reduce travel time (reach out if you need advice on what to get)
“I already do dryland with my team.”
Not like this you don't. We recommend most of our athletes stop their current dryland (it's usually doing more harm than good) and replace it with our sessions. If your dryland is mandatory - remember you're not a child anymore and you can decide what's best for you.
“My body can’t handle heavy lifting anymore.”
That’s why we use the right tools for your nervous system - isometrics, full range strength, and controlled methods that build power without pain. You'll be lifting heavy without it feeling like it.
“I’m always sore.”
That’s not a sign of progress - it’s a sign your body isn’t adapting. This program rebuilds recovery capacity through smarter neural loading. After the first few weeks you shouldn't feel very sore on this program.
“What if I’ve never done gym work before?”
No problem. Every movement is explained and scaled for your ability level, with coaching videos and clear guidance.
“I’ve tried everything.”
Not this. Most programs ignore the nervous system, neurotyping and most don't include proper strength training at all - this one is built around these key things. That’s why Masters swimmers around the world are hitting lifetime bests again.
“Do I need gym access?”
Basic equipment you find at almost any gym is enough - barbells, dumbbells, racks, pullup bars, cable machine.
“Will this really work with my age and recovery?”
Yes. In fact, the older you get, the more important this type of training becomes. It helps your body absorb training instead of just surviving it.
“What if it doesn’t work for me?”
You’re covered. If you don’t go a PB in your main events after your first season - we’ll train you for free until you do.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
🧠 Neurotype Test & Profile - Discover how your brain chemistry impacts your performance, recovery, and motivation.
💪 Personalised Program - 2-3 targeted sessions per week designed to build strength, power, and mobility without fatigue.
🔁 Progressive Phases - Your plan evolves every 3 weeks to keep you progressing without plateaus.
📹 Full Video Library and training guide - Every movement demonstrated and the swimstrength training basics explained so you know how to get the most out of every session.
👥 Private Community Access - Get feedback from coach Jake and connect with other Masters swimmers following the same system.
THE GUARANTEE
If after your first season with us you haven’t gone a huge PB in your main events - we’ll train you for free until you do!
This means you’re guaranteed to go PBs on this program - we will not stop until you’re back to going regular PBs, no matter how old you are (age group PBs for Masters)!
WHO AM I?
I’m Coach Jake Tyson, founder of SwimStrength.
I’ve helped swimmers of every level - from Olympians like Chad Le Clos and Max Litchfield to Masters athletes in their 40s, 50s, and 60s - rebuild their athleticism, fix pain, and hit lifetime PBs.
I built SwimStrength after my own plateau in college, when overtraining, injury and poor recovery nearly ended my swimming career.
Since then, I’ve dedicated my work to creating systems that help swimmers train less, perform better, and finally feel in control of their progress again.
The Elite Membership is the most personalised version of that system - the same process I use with world-class athletes, now tailored for Masters swimmers who refuse to slow down.
