Batman Butterfly #theraceclub

🦋 Butterfly going up instead of forward? This “Batman Butterfly” drill (inspired by Olympic butterflier @hartingz) exaggerates the first few strokes so swimmers can feel momentum moving forward — not vertical. Over-dramatize ➡️ then smooth it out ➡️ fly forward. Try this if your fly feels more like a jump than a swim. #theraceclub #swimming #sprint #swim #freestyle #fast #coach #coaching #pool #experiment #swimcoach #triathlon #olympicswimming #usaswimming #swimstagram #olympictrials #fitness #fitnessmotivation #motivation #effort #attitude #toughness #athlete #sports #swimmingworld #swimswam #consistency #reels #nature #photography

Breaststroke Kick Drill #theraceclub

One of the biggest breaststroke mistakes we see? 🚨 Too much drag at the end of the kick. Letting the feet hang acts like a parachute and slows swimmers down. We love teaching breaststroke kick on the back so swimmers can feel when to lift the feet after the toe point and keep momentum moving forward. Try this drill on your next technique day and feel the difference! 🏊♂️✨ #theraceclub #swimming #sprint #swim #breaststroke #fast #coach #coaching #pool #experiment #swimcoach #triathlon #olympicswimming #usaswimming #swimstagram #olympictrials #fitness #fitnessmotivation #motivation #effort #attitude #toughness #athlete #sports #swimmingworld #swimswam #consistency #reels #nature #photography

Charlie Hall training at #theraceclub

Fast swimming runs in the Hall family. Charlie, a promising athlete, is the son of 10-time Olympic medalist Gary Hall Jr. and the grandson of 3-time Olympic medalist Gary Hall Sr., who also had the pleasure of coaching him this past summer. Charlie has developed an impressive straight arm technique and is training diligently. We're thrilled to witness Charlie's progress in the near future 👀 Currently, we're focusing on improving Charlie's pulling motion to achieve a more optimal position with his elbow over his hand. In the video, you can observe how the elbow leads the hand, which results in a loss of pulling leverage on the water.

Octane Series Progression #theraceclub

Want a faster freestyle without muscling it? Understanding the difference between low, medium, and high-octane freestyle is key. This side-kick progression teaches swimmers how hand position shifts relative to the head as intensity rises—an essential skill for age-groupers developing a strong, high-octane stroke. 🚀 #swim #swimmer #swimming #freestyle #theraceclub #improvement #usaswimming #swimswam #fitness #technique #sprint #drills #coach #athlete #kick #kicking

Swimmer Core Drill #theraceclub

Everyone has heard it before; swimmers need a strong core. If our core is weak, our hips and legs sag down causing excessive drag. Try this fun core drill to get a better feel for engaging the core and keeping hips high on the surface. Do 8-10 controlled reps and feel the burn! #swim #swimming #swimmer #workout #abs #corestrength #theraceclub #usaswimming #swimswam #fitness #coach #athlete #triathlete #improvement #drill

Backstroke Tips #theraceclub

Trying to improve your backstroke times? Keep these things in mind! 1. Keep your head in proper alignment. Too many swimmers "read in bed", meaning they are looking down at their feet and causing excessive frontal drag. 2. Maintain full rotation each stroke. Think about touching your shoulder to your chin, maximizing rotation. 3. Break the elbow on the backstroke pull. By bending our elbow, we increase water force and keep our hand moving in a straight line towards our feet. Keep these tips in mind during your next backstroke set! #swim #swimmer #swimmming #backstroke #coach #athlete #theraceclub #usaswimming #swimswam #fitness #improvement #technique #coaching #swimcoach

Fast Flip Turns #theraceclub

Turns present a golden opportunity to beat your competitors. Many swimmers tend to slow down their stroke rate, allowing gravity to do some of the work as they relax their core during the flip. This moment is your chance to excel by being aggressive. Keep your stroke rate consistent and execute a fast flip by tucking in tightly and engaging your core. This is the Race Club turn.
