Flat backstroke is slow backstroke.

Backstroke is a long axis stroke, which means rotation is almost everything. It drives your power, length, and efficiency in the water. Most swimmers swim too flat and leave all of that on the table. But rotation isn’t the whole story. Think you know one thing MORE important than your rotation in backstroke?

Watch to find out, plus two drills we use to build it.

Stop kicking big. Start kicking fast.

Everyone obsesses over the size of their kick but speed is what actually moves you forward. A fast, snappy kick beats a big slow one every time. Check out this drill to build your heel speed and transform your whole kick.

Save this one and try it out at your next practice

New in the TRC Drill Lab: 6-Kick, 3-Stroke Switch, Head Submerged 🏊

This drill comes from Sara Curtis's 50 backstroke. With fins on, swimmers focus on:
âś… Throwing the hand into the water fast
âś… Hyperextending the shoulder as they rotate
âś… Letting the head sink slightly so the hips and feet stay near the surface

Coaches, how do you teach head position in sprint backstroke? 👇

Want to swim like a world record holder? Start here.

Jack Alexy just broke the SCM 100 free world record and his elite stroke length is a huge reason why. Many swimmers try to add speed by spinning their arms faster, Alexy covers more distance with every stroke. Moving faster while doing LESS. A hallmark of world class freestyle, and it’s something you can train.

Here’s one drill we love to build stroke length.

A high-elbow pull takes practice and many swimmers struggle to get it right. At the Race Club, we measure the shoulder’s internal rotation needed for an efficient pull. Since leading with the elbow can throw off technique, dryland drills are a great way to learn the positioning of the arm. Visit our website to explore our subscription and discover the swim drills and strength-building exercises we use to develop a stronger high-elbow pull.

A record that stood for years just fell twice in a month.

The SCM 50 back world record was untouchable until it wasn’t. Right now there are at least THREE swimmers with the raw speed to take it down below 22 seconds: Xu Jiayu, Pieter Coetze, and Egor Kornev.

So here’s the question. With the record standing at just 3 hundredths above 22 seconds will we see the 50 back fall under? And if so who do you think does it first?

“The kids felt seen.” 💙

That’s what Race Club camp parents keep telling us. Every swimmer gets real feedback from our coaches, and they leave with technique they can take straight back to practice.

Butterfly makes you feels like drowning? It’s your breath.

This is where most swimmers fall apart in fly. Lifting too high. Dropping the hips. Fighting for every breath. Drag everywhere.

The fix: stay on top of the water and keep your breath low and fast. Here’s exactly how we teach it.

Save it and try it out!

Low, medium or high octane: which gear is fastest for your sprint freestyle? ⛽🏊

In this video we break down all three. Low octane feels smooth but leaves speed on the table. Medium octane is where most swimmers start to find real speed. High octane is where the magic happens: a faster, more connected stroke that creates more coupling energy, linking your body rotation and kick to every pull.

Watch, compare and find the octane that makes you fastest. Which one are you swimming at right now? Tell us below 👇

YOU are swimming freestyle all wrong.

The fix comes down to one thing most swimmers never master. The high elbow catch. It’s what separates elite freestyle from those who feel like they are moving no water. Just look at Katie Ledecky and see how you too can grab more water with every single stroke.

Check out the two drills we love to unlock the high elbow catch and save this for your next workout!
