PLANNING
Definition
Planning is a systematically thought-out process of
training. It is a future line of action and it is for the
definite period. The planning should be done to achieve
immediate as well as long term reasonable goals by
making appropriate use of available resources.
Planning should be:
➢ Long term plan – 8 years & Olympics plan
➢Short term plan – Yearly plan
➢Lesson plan – one session plan
Long term plan
➢ It is the plan for many years of training concept.
➢ The long term plan is mainly the outline of the
training.
➢ The long term plan may have the basic, advanced,
high performance and highest level performance stages.
➢ The long term plan duration may be 8 to 16 years
(2 Olympic plans to 4 Olympic plans).
➢ Each long term plan shall be divided into yearly
plans with each year having a definite aim and goal
to achieve.
Short term plan
➢ Yearly plan or Annual training plan
➢ It shall contain the details of all the factors of
performance development.
➢ The yearly plan must be based on long term plan.
➢ The success of yearly plan is responsible for the
success of long term plan.
The information needed to make a Short term plan/
yearly plan:
➢The performance achievement of the previous year.
➢ The total distance covered during the previous years.
➢ The calendar, the biological and the training age of
the swimmer.
➢ The training stage of the swimmer that is Basic
instruction stage, Developmental and Elite stage.
➢Information regarding illness, sickness, etc must be
collected before formulating a training plan.
➢ Plan the reasonable goals of present year based up on
the performance of last year.
➢ Plan the development of motor abilities at various
stages of current year.
Lesson plan - one session plan
➢ “Lesson plan is teacher’s guides where a subject
matter is to be taught. The subject is selected and put
into words in cogent and progressive manner.”
➢ Lesson plan should be progressive from lesson to
lesson and within the lesson from simple to complex and
easy to difficult.
➢ Lesson plan should be flexible so that sometimes it
may be changed it shall not be very rigid.
➢The contents of lesson plan should lead to some
definite purpose. For e.g. technique, tactics,
development of motor abilities, tests or recovery etc.
Types of Lesson plan:
➢ General Lesson Plan
➢Specific Lesson plan
General lesson plan consist of the following elements:
Introductory activities: e.g. Introduction, warm-up general in nature,
general exercises for the whole body warm up.
Formal activities: This type of lesson plan aims to develop and maintain
body control, posture, graceful carriage of the body through various
exercises and activities which are helpful in the performance by
conditioning the body.

Introductory part: Should consist of introduction to the swimmer, their well being,
general warm-up and specific warm-up for the concerned activity.
The specific activity: This part should be used to develop, maintain or practice the
element of training which is directly concerned with the aim of the lesson plan.

It is very difficult to fix the total duration of a
training session as much as its part. As for young children
it may be of 40 to 45 minutes whereas for advance
swimmers it may be go for 2 hours or even more. The
duration depends on the level of the swimmer, age of
the player and type of the work to be done.
