Sounds like a funny thing to say right? Well it’s true, COVID19 could very well be the best opportunity you will ever get for a number of reasons. You can either use this time wisely or you can just let it slip past and be the same person you always have been. Its your choice. Now, this is not a guide on how to do dry land work outs, far from it. What I am trying to point out is what a great chance you have on your door step. You have the opportunity to hammer your Strength and Condition, your mindset, you aerobic fitness and your support network.
Work on your S & C.
I’m sure you already have a strength
and conditioning program that you would have been doing maybe twice or 3 times a week before COVID19. Now is your time to double down on it. No, I’m not saying do it every day. What I am saying is that you can now focus more and push yourself further during the sessions. Even thought you might be in isolation for COVID19 you can still do some strength work or stretching. If you did an 1 hour or more in the pool each day you should have even more energy now to put in to your dry land work.

Get a COVID19 Mindset
If you have never really looked in to visualization? Then now is your chance. Never done meditation? Great, now you can focus on it. Never really watched motivational or inspirational videos? Good, look them up on YouTube. Your brain is the most powerful weapon in your swimming arsenal and how much time have you put in to developing it? Not that much I bet. When you do your dry land workout put on a motivational video from YouTube. You don’t have to watch it, just listen and focus on the words and the message while you do your work out.
Practice visualizing yourself racing in your events, when your start you might drift off. However keep 
practicing and you will soon be able to visualize your whole race. Check out this great article on How Swimmers Can Get Started with Visualization and Imagery by Olivier Poirier-Lero from YOUR SWIM BOOK. Once you have one race down, do another and then another. Learn to meditate, this can really help your pre-race nerves as well as you concentration and focus in training.
Aerobic Fitness
Although it will be tricky to keep up your fitness for the pool you can still try your best to improve your aerobic fitness. Do what ever you need to do to use your aerobic system. Get out of your comfort zone, go for a bike ride up a long drawn out hill and go as fast as you can. Look in TABATA training or go for a run then every 500m sprint 50m. Use your imagination to create different thing for you to do to stay fit. Then give it everything you have.
Your COVID19 support network
Reach out to family and friends to see how 
they are going as well as thank them for any support they may have given you over your career so far. Call other team mates and see how there are going with there dryland training. Become a great teammate and help to inspire them and motivate them. Jump on Facebook and video chat with them or even do a dryland session over video with them. Get in contact with your coach no doubt he is missing the pool just as much you are. Ask him or her questions on how you can improve your technique and see what video he recommends you to what.
JUST DO IT!
Just do it, grab this opportunity and give it everything you have. You have the time, so now develop the will power to push yourself. Don’t be like other people and just sit around the house and complain. Hell, learn a new language, do something to push yourself. But what ever your do, don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
