The Race Club
 


UNITED STATES - The Race Club was not officially founded until 2003, but its 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 they called themselves The World Team.

The World Team of 2000 was an experiment. For the first time they 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. They had never done that before. Their results exceeded their 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, they repeated the experiment in 2004 for Athens, this time under the name of The Race Club. They trained and sent fewer swimmers, but still ended up winning 6 Olympic medals. They knew then that they 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. They began offering The Race Club camps where they taught swimmers of any age or any ability how to swim faster. Swimmers have come from around the world to learn their 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, they 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 their passion and their history. Making you a better swimmer is their business. Life is worth swimming!

And the best part is they are using Tahitian Noni to help them achieve their goals! Head coach for The Race Club, Gary Hall Sr. said, “Our swimmers use both the Tahitian Noni juice and the Hiro energy drinks. Using them together, they feel they get a faster recovery time and a better quality workout. We are sold on the value of these products for world class athletes.”
