How Swimmers and Coaches Can Collaboratively Use Information at Their Fingertips<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen the sports movie. Darkness surrounds our hero, as he studies the greatest athletes in the sport late at night. How can he improve? Will he rise to their level and win it all? It can be applied to almost any sport, as video analysis of competitions has become common among the most popular athletes for decades. <\/span><\/p>\n

For years, however, the movement failed to take off in swimming. But with more online personalities creating race analysis, and more coaches adopting the method, it has begun to play a role across the sport. How effective can analyzing the world\u2019s best be in the sport of swimming? And most importantly, what can it do for the swimmers of tomorrow?<\/span><\/p>\n

Every Swimmer is Different<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The internet has changed the sports world, with unprecedented access to every event. With that access has come the ability to watch swimming events across the world. The best athletes are now constantly in our hands. Peter Verhoef<\/strong>, coach at top high school swim program The Bolles School, knows this all too well. In his years coaching the school, he has seen the change impact his swimmers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have access to all of the top athletes\u2019 races, routines, regimens. It’s better than ever before,\u201d said Verhoef. \u201cThe question becomes, what do we do with it?”<\/span><\/p>\n

The coach emphasized that the influx of information could be overwhelming for a swimmer, especially those who might take the actions of a top athlete too literally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s knowledge, not wisdom,\u201d said Verhoef. \u201cWe have to learn the fundamentals first, and then learn how we can apply these routines.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gary Hall Sr.<\/strong>, a multi-time Olympian and coach\/founder of The Race Club, agrees. Hall\u2019s program puts a heavy focus on technique, using technology to emphasize the \u201cfundamentals\u201d of swimming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t have fundamentals, you reach a certain level of ability, but you\u2019re never going to be able to surpass that,\u201d said Hall. \u201cWe believe technique is 50% of the game, yet it probably ends up being more like 5% of the time coaches spend on technique.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall pointed out factors like a swimmer’s body type, flexibility, and strength as keys to determining how they should swim. These characteristics vary for every swimmer, making it potentially dangerous for them to adapt to another athlete\u2019s style of stroke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for every coach to understand that you can\u2019t use the same technique for every swimmer,\u201d Hall said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Coach\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how does a swimmer find the technique that\u2019s right for them? According to the coaches, it requires a heavy amount of communication between the coach and the swimmer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

James Mauk<\/strong>, coach at Delaware club team Wilmington Aquatic Club, cited more swimmers than ever before showing interest in stroke changes based on the world\u2019s best. Mauk has dealt with it by looking to find a common ground with the swimmer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith so much to consume, it becomes a part of their job to have a conversation with their coach,” Mauk said. “‘I found this, how should I work on it?\u2019 And it falls upon us to have honest conversations on whether it\u2019s something worth trying.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Verhoef agreed, believing experimenting with different techniques in practice as key. \u201cWe have to be the ones learning, and finding what works and what doesn\u2019t,\u201d Verhoef said.<\/span><\/p>\n

While communication is key, to Hall, a more proven way to diagnose a swimmer exists. With resources at his disposal, the former physician has built an array of tools to determine exactly the style of stroke a swimmer should utilize.<\/span><\/p>\n

At The Race Club<\/a>, swimmers undergo a series of tests, from their internal hip rotation for breaststroke, to their shoulder extension for butterfly and backstroke. Hall uses these tests to give swimmers a \u201cscore\u201d from one to 10 on their strengths, providing them with the tools to choose their style of swimming. He used freestyle as an example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA taller swimmer is more able to use a longer distance, slower stroke rate-type technique,\u201d said Hall. \u201cOr if you\u2019re not a good kicker, a hip-driven freestyle or a \u2018hybrid\u2019(gallop) freestyle stroke might not work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A Groundbreaking Improvement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through diagnosing the swimmers\u2019 exact strengths and weaknesses, the perfect stroke for them can be found. Surely, this seems like the most thorough method. The issue? Accessibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall has access to special tools, like his velocity tracking machine and \u201csmart paddles\u201d that track the depth of one\u2019s hand, its force, and the path of the pull\/recovery. The average coach, on the other hand, doesn\u2019t have this kind of access. Hall also mostly coaches swimmers on an individual level, where club coaches like Mauk and Verhoef must create a program for dozens of swimmers at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Hall has a solution. A new App created by The Race Club hopes to launch in Spring 2026. Per Hall, it will allow coaches to recreate the \u201ctests\u201d at home. The App will let coaches record their swimmers and use technology to measure aspects such as a swimmer\u2019s propulsion, drag, and hip flexion for all four strokes. The device will also include measures for knee flexion, elbow bend, head tilt, and a swimmer’s velocity\/acceleration, compiling all of Hall’s tests into one mobile program. \u00a0It will then allow them to compare the data to the \u201cideal\u201d stroke for each event (distance freestyle, mid-distance stroke, etc.), based on The Race Club\u2019s database of research, and provide suggestions and improvements via videos to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll eliminate a lot of the variability (of a coach\u2019s perspective),\u201d said Hall. \u201cYou can see exactly what you\u2019re doing better and worse with each technique.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a project that could change swimming mechanics forever, if done correctly. The hours of studying and thousands of dollars in equipment required to conduct Hall\u2019s studies, could be similarly replicated in just about 20 minutes per swimmer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be really comprehensive and user-friendly,\u201d said Hall. \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Swim-Fluencer Revolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

The influence of social media on our daily lives is inarguable. Swimming, according to the coaches, is no exception. <\/span>Mauk described what has been a \u201csprint revolution\u201d across the sport. He attributed the change to a rise in content surrounding sprint swimming, encouraging shorter workouts and more weightlifting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone wants to be the flashy sprinter now, and do sprint workouts,\u201d said Mauk. \u201cAge group kids, ages 9-14, shouldn\u2019t be training like Olympians and specializing, as they plateau when they hit 16.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The coaches preached the \u201cdevelopment of the athlete as a whole,\u201d as Mauk referred to it. Hall referenced Caeleb Dressel, who he said built his foundation from his early distance training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone says I want to be a sprinter like Caeleb,\u201d said Hall. \u201cBut even every sprinter builds their foundation first, or else they can\u2019t maintain (speed).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

To the coaches, well-rounded swim development is the only path to success. It\u2019s a philosophy that\u2019s hard to find on social media, given the desire to display strong opinions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost a microcosm of today\u2019s society going to extremes,\u201d said Mauk. \u201cYou can\u2019t have people only sprinting and doing 3,000-yard workouts, or kids with 70-80,000 yard weeks of training. A balance is needed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in our current landscape, however, there are some influencers that look to reflect this \u201cbalance.\u201d Hall\u2019s \u201cRace Club\u201d videos provide a scientific look into swimming efficiency, and emphasize great technique.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fares Ksebati is another example of a swim influencer looking to give insight through technical analysis. The CEO of swim training app developer \u201cMySwimPro.\u201d Ksebati looks to provide technique tips for all different types of swimmers. \u201cI really see a lot of value in fundamentals, even for the most elite swimmers,\u201d said Ksebati. \u201cThings can get sloppy because you\u2019ve done it 10,000 times, or maybe you\u2019re a beginner just learning. (The stroke mechanics) apply to everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether under positive or negative influence, though, the responsibility for smart, disciplined training falls on the swimmer and coach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou just have to figure the swimmer out,\u201d said Hall. \u201cBecoming a great coach, and a great swimmer, is much more challenging (in 2025).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
