dryland
Not the sea
Dryland describes land that receives little rainfall or lacks irrigation, used especially in agriculture: dryland farming, dryland wheat.
The term distinguishes rain-fed cultivation from irrigated methods.
In swimming, dryland training refers to exercises done out of the water—strength and flexibility work that complements pool time.
