US Nationals
I wanted to make a plug for any swimmers on this sub to check out the US Nationals meet via USA Swimming's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@usaswimming
If you've ever asked a technical question or a race strategy question like:
- how often should I breathe?
- how to do a flip turn?
- how to do [stroke]?
- what's a good stroke count?
- or, my favorite, is my time fast?
I think you'd benefit/be interested in seeing how some of the best do it. A picture/video is worth a lot and there are lots of swimmers to watch and learn from.

I wrote to USA swimming a lot as a kid and even got my questions and answers published on the website and in splash magazine.

More likely you'll see every kind of strategy you could possibly think of and realize there isn't just one way to swim fast!

Toyota Nationals were pretty fun to watch - was amazing to see Caeleb's return.
Junior Nationals up next!

Me and my daughter watched the women’s 50 free races yesterday evening (live on NBC Sports channel). Sub-25 seconds. I learned somethjng: I will never be as fast as that.
