    As a physician and a swimming coach, I feel the need to chime in here. All of the known performance enhancing drugs which (by definition) are known to be effective, and when taken in significantly high enough quantities, are also known to be unsafe. We cannot rely on the swimmers

    😮 Dylan Carter set the Race Club record for a 25 yard underwater dolphin kick in 9.18 seconds! That's moving!!! His kick rate was 143 kicks per minute and has the perfect amount of undulation. Not too much knee bend and just the right amount of movement of the upper body.

    A great way to get started with the “Power breaststroke” technique is to do flutter kicking with breaststroke arms/upper body. This allows you to focus on pulling wide, elevating the head, & snapping it down hard. Once you feel the spurts in speed after the head slam, try to

    Have you ever giving this start drill a shot? The goal is to hit the peak energy of the head at the same time your back leg hits it’s peak! Think Caeleb Dressel and Brad Tandy!

    In our newest video release we posed the question: is it faster to glide off the walls or kick immediately? Luckily, we had one of the best underwater kickers in the world, Maggie Mac Neil, to help us explore the topic.

    We teach our swimmers to use a low octane freestyle technique in middle to distance events. The key to a fast low octane freestyle is leading with the elbow as you recover and extending the hand up and as far forward as possible. The lift of the hand as it extends forward not

    🎯 Want a Better Start? Fix Your Head Lift. In the first clip, the eyes barely lift — and the entry distance and angle suffers. In the second, full head lift = longer flight, better trajectory, cleaner entry. 💥 The difference is massive. 🔑 The smallest detail can change

    This week we are releasing a low octane freestyle progression drill video. This sequence of drills is key to mastering a fast freestyle technique. First we begin by learning to rotate without any arms. This develops muscle memory in the core that is so crucial to have an

    It can’t be stressed enough…the Tandy start is the gold standard for coupling energy in a dive. While it requires some flexibility, it helps a swimmer produce great velocity off the start. Notice how the head drives down with the arms and the hips are slightly flexed, which

    In the 50 freestyle all elite swimmers use a stroke rate between 115 and 140 strokes per minute.  For most swimmers, they aren’t able to sustain this stroke rate without compromising their technique.  Dolphin kick freestyle is a great way to learn how to swim with a high stroke

    We lost a legend of the sport today. Jon Urbanchek motivated the best out of everyone. His love for swimming was unparalleled. He had the best sense of humor and made everyone around him smile. We’ll miss you. RIP
