In this video, I break down how ambidextrous turns helped me stay composed in Tokyo, and why this is a skill every swimmer should train.

The cavernous Itakeskus swimming hall in Finland houses a complex of pools and saunas, but in just a couple of days it can be transformed into a vast underground bomb shelter with a capacity of nearly 4,000 people. It’s just one of a number of shelters across the country that during peacetime house everything from skateparks to playgrounds, but also form a vital part of Finland’s civil defence strategy and could provide a model for other European nations looking to ramp up preparedness after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Sprint 101—your crash course in swimming fast with purpose, style, and precision. In this video, we’re breaking down the art of sprinting by thinking about your body like a race car:
- The Trunk (Frame) – Rotational strength and control.
- The Legs (Engine) – Non-stop power from hips down.
- The Arms (Tires) – High-grip catch and clean water connection.
Plus, we walk through my favorite sprint-focused drill: GTOs. These help you lower stroke count, train with purpose, and stay efficient without losing that top gear.
We wrap things up by building a 99 Overall Sprinter—crafted from five legends who each bring something unique to the pool. Style, swagger, clutchness, raw speed—it’s all in here.
Sprint smarter, not harder. Learn what the water wants from you.
