How Body Composition Impacts Swimming Performance

How does body composition affect my swimming speed?

Optimal body composition directly impacts your hydrodynamics and propulsion in the water. DEXA scans measure your muscle distribution and body fat percentage with medical-grade accuracy, revealing how your current composition affects frontal drag and stroke power. Get started

What's the ideal muscle distribution for my swimming events?

Different swimming events require specialized muscle development. DEXA scans identify your current muscle distribution across upper and lower body, core, and shoulders, revealing imbalances that may limit your event-specific performance. Understanding your unique composition helps tailor training for your specific events and goals. Get started

How do muscle imbalances increase my injury risk?

Swimmer's shoulder and other overuse injuries often stem from muscle imbalances. These imbalances can lead to compensatory movements that increase injury risk. By identifying and addressing these specific issues, you can maintain proper form throughout training, reducing overuse problems that sideline many swimmers. Get started

How can I optimize my composition for better training adaptation?

Training adaptation depends on optimal muscle development and recovery capacity. DEXA scans provide precise measurements of your muscle distribution and composition, allowing for personalized nutrition and training protocols based on your unique physiology. Get started

Riley P.Los Angeles, CA

I've been working out & eating on a calorie deficit, but my scan showed I was actually burning muscle (not fat). A few changes to my diet made a HUGE difference!

David M.Austin, TX

After my scan, I adjusted my meal prep, balancing macronutrients and protein timing, and finally saw real muscle growth and body composition improvements.
