Performance Insights & Analysis Tools – Our goal is to present common-sense methods that help swimmers and coaches achieve continuous improvement. There are no fancy buzzwords or exotic stroke drills. All methods were conceptualized using a wide range of swimmers. These methods were validated after years of development and published in leading peer-reviewed journals worldwide. To this day, they continue to be cited by top publications and some of the brightest minds in the sport.
Innovation - Learn about two swimming-performance technologies that have transformed the way swimmers train and compete. The first video is a TV feature on the development of the first U.S.-patented swim pacing lights, created to help swimmers improve their technique. The next two videos highlight how high-performance swimming suits were developed for the 2004 Olympic Games and showcase a state-of-the-art swimming research and testing facility.
Library - Access our collection of peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate how to effectively improve technique, build a stronger physiological engine, and optimize performance. The Library provides a solid academic foundation, featuring research published in the most prestigious journals in sport science.
Technique - Learn how to create and use a technique tracking system. This is one of the most valuable sections on our website for improving performance. We developed a simple method that allows coaches to use just a stopwatch to measure how technique changes affect swimming speed, and we provide a clear example of how it works. Applicable to any stroke, this method can be incorporated into daily practice as well as post-race analysis during competition. Because it is highly sensitive, even small adjustments in technique give instant feedback. Beyond technical improvements, this approach has been shown to significantly reduce the energy cost of swimming leading to meaningful gains in performance compared to traditional training methods. It’s an essential resource especially for swimmers who feel their competition results have plateaued.
Performance Lab - This section offers two fascinating videos that showcase cutting-edge performance testing in a state-of-the-art facility. The first takes you inside a VO₂ max test, where a swimmer’s aerobic capacity is measured. An endurance marker that’s often talked about but rarely seen up close. The second reveals how high performance swimsuits were tested for drag reduction, as part of the 2003-04 design process leading into the Athens Olympic Games. Both videos include captions that guide you through what’s happening, making the science easy to follow and enjoyable to watch.
List of Clients - This section highlights individuals over the years who have embraced a forward thinking, growth mindset in building a culture of continuous improvement. The testimonials come from athletes, coaches, and sport researchers, reflecting the wide range of people who have benefited from the methods and tools featured on this website. While not an exhaustive list, it shows the diversity of those who have gained from these approaches, and we hope that after exploring this site, you will be next.
