The Race Club

The Race Club was not officially founded until 2003, but it’s origin dates back to the year 2000 when a group of 13 talented swimmers came together to train for the Sydney Olympic Games. At that time we called ourselves The World Team.

The World Team of 2000 was an experiment for us. For the first time we provided not only great swimming coaches for the 13 athletes, but great coaches in all five of the important training disciplines: swimming, strength training, mental training, nutrition and recovery. We had never done that before. Our results exceeded our expectations. Ten athletes competed in Sydney, six for the United States. The six American athletes won 10 Olympic medals for the USA, 1/10 th of the total medals won for our country.

Just to be sure it wasn’t a fluke, we repeated the experiment in 2004 for Athens, this time under the name of The Race Club. We trained and sent fewer swimmers, but still ended up winning 6 Olympic medals. We knew then that we were on to something.

In 2006, The Race Club began to share what it had learned about training athletes in all five important disciplines with the rest of the world. We began offering The Race Club camps where we taught swimmers of any age or any ability how to swim faster. Swimmers have come from around the world to learn our training and swimming techniques. They have not been disappointed.

In 2008, 17 swimmers representing 15 countries that trained with The Race Club competed in the Beijing Olympics. Two more Olympic medals were won. All swam personal best times.

Today, The Race Club is focused on developing the most advanced swim camps in the world in two of the most beautiful places in the world; Miami and the Florida Keys. Campers not only benefit from the Race Club formulas for success in training, but also some of the most advanced video and analytical software available. With each and every Race Club Camper, we have proudly improved their skill, elevated their enthusiasm and opened their eyes to swimming’s lifelong possibilities. For some, a Race Club Camp has resulted in a full college scholarship. For others, it has simply renewed a passion for the sport and strengthened a commitment to fitness.

Training Olympic swimmers is our passion and our history. Making you a better swimmer is our business. Life is worth swimming!
