Description: The Race Club has been busy working on a project we’re excited to share with our members. Just a couple of weeks before the Olympic Trials, we received a visit from two exceptional swimmers. One of those swimmers is South African Olympian and Race Club legend Brad Tandy. Brad placed sixth in the 50m in 2016 and will compete for South Africa again at the Tokyo Olympics in just a few weeks. The other is Payton Sorenson, who had one of the fastest 50m freestyle times at trials. No matter who the swimmer is, we always learn something new when we hook them up to the velocity or pressure meters. So when you get the chance to work with two of the fastest sprint freestylers in the world, you take advantage of it. We worked with Brad and Payton for a few days, testing variations in recovery, pulling motion, and head position. Some of the results confirmed what we knew, and others took us by surprise.
