How was The Race Club born?
"It's up to us, the fast food thinkers and the fast twitch challenged, the coaches and the assistant coaches, the swimmers of tomorrow and yesterday to create our own opportunities. It's easy to sit in a hotel room and get worked up over the inefficiencies of a huge organization, or the work ethic of the lazy. What can we do? How can I help create better opportunities for swimmers?" Gary Hall Jr.

Join The Race Club and Get Some Cool Gear

Race Club Coaching
Olympian, Jon Olsen is the Race Club head coach and will be running the workouts. We all fall into bad habits when we get tired, we all need a sounding board, an outside (the pool) perspective. Jon is a natural team leader, a team captain for many USA National Team trips. He's patient and observant. He has been there as an athlete. He is THE man for the job.

Swimmers in The Race Club Circle of Champions
Who are the swimmers on The Race Club's roster? An international variety of top-level athletes that will be swimming with the goal of even higher achievments.

Swimming Clinics and Workshops from The Race Club
The Race Club can hold swimming clinics at your facility, or you can come to Islamorada, Florida. Prior to your first day in the water with them, they will work with you to identify your swimming objectives so that a program that fits your time requirements and goals as a swimmer can be created.

The Coaches Coroner (or Corner, if you prefer)
Welcome to Coaches Coroner! It's really the Coaches "Corner", but coroner in the title is a funny play on words. Coaches and swimmers can come here to submit a favorite sprint workout with a brief description of WHY this is a good workout.
