Personal Trainer

In order to be able to achieve what Ryan has, over the years of his professional swimming career, you got to seriously look at your physical preparation. This doesn’t mean that an athlete only needs to lift heavy weights, but instead, it means that he has to cover all the aspects of being in tip-top shape such as eating healthy, working on recovery, muscular development, etc.

Lochte’s muscular body speaks enough about his preparation as an athlete. It is known that Ryan spends around 5 hours a day of intense swimming in which he is able to cover 16 km of distance. However, the times when athletes would enter the swimming pool, do their swimming workouts and achieve greatness are over. Nowadays, competitive swimmers like Lochte go through comprehensive programs which help them in a long term.
