Combined training showed the highest efficacy, improving 100 m swim time by 2.01 seconds compared to control.
Incorporating water plus dry-land resistance training significantly improved stroke rate and swim velocity metrics.
Core and power training contributed to specific gains in sprint performance and take-off velocity.
These findings support a precision-based approach to enhance competitive swimming through tailored training strategies.
