DECEMBER 27-30, 2026
Join The Race Club for an immersive four-day swim camp designed to elevate swimmers of all levels.
For four powerful days, you’ll step inside the training philosophy that has helped shape Olympic champions and elevate swimmers at every level of the sport. At The Race Club, we don’t just teach drills – we teach why they work. We break down the science of speed, eliminate the mistakes that hold swimmers back, and build the technical precision that separates good swimmers from great ones. This camp is designed to give you the tools, confidence, and race-ready skills to take your swimming to the next level.
What Makes This Camp Different
At The Race Club, we focus on the details that matter most:
- Stroke efficiency and propulsion
- Starts, turns, and transitions
- Underwater speed and dolphin kicking
- Mobility and body alignment
- Strength, recovery, and nutrition
Every concept is taught in a classroom setting and then reinforced immediately in the pool for hands-on application.
WHAT SWIMMERS WILL LEARN
Each day includes structured morning and afternoon sessions combining education, technical drills, and performance training. Athletes will focus on all strokes, starts, and turns while improving freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly technique. Camp curriculum includes four types of dryland training, the science of swimming, and the five disciplines of fast swimming. Swimmers will also develop seasonal planning, mental training, and race strategy skills to gain a competitive edge.
At The Race Club, we recommend that all campers attend every camp session whether you are a beginner, master, or a competitive swimmer to improve your swimming technique.
Day 1 – Freestyle Fundamentals & Body Alignment
Day 1 is dedicated to building the foundation of fast swimming. Swimmers will develop a deeper understanding of the mechanics that create speed, focusing on efficient freestyle technique, breathing patterns, and proper body alignment.
Focus Areas:
- Fundamentals of fast swimming principles
- Freestyle stroke mechanics and propulsion
- Efficient breathing timing and rhythm
- Mobility testing and stroke alignment
- Pre-workout activation and stretch progression
Day 2 – Nutrition, Dolphin Kick & Backstroke Precision
Day 2 expands performance development beyond the stroke itself. Swimmers will learn how nutrition fuels speed while refining dolphin kick power and mastering the technical details of an efficient backstroke.
Focus Areas:
- Performance nutrition essentials for swimmers
- Dolphin kick power and underwater velocity
- Freestyle mechanics continue from Day 1
- Backstroke body position and rotation timing, efficient arm path, catch mechanics
Day 3 – Strength, Breaststroke & Start Performance
Day 3 connects dryland strength and recovery principles directly to in-water performance. Swimmers will focus on breaststroke timing and transitions while developing explosive and technically sound starts.
Focus Areas:
- Strength training principles for swimmers
- Recovery strategies for sustained performance
- Breaststroke technique
- Back-to-breast transition turns
- Start fundamentals and block positioning
- Reaction time and explosive power generation
- Streamline control and entry precision
Day 4 – Mental Training, Butterfly & Race Execution
Day 4 brings everything together. Swimmers will build confidence through mental preparation strategies, refine butterfly mechanics, and apply their technical progress in race-specific scenarios.
Focus Areas:
- Mental training for competition and confidence
- Butterfly rhythm, timing, and efficiency
- Open turns, wall transitions, starts
- Dynamic dryland activation
- Four-stroke drill progression
- Individual Races
