    The FINA flag waving outside the public swimming pool in Klaksvík, Faroe Islands, during the Faroese Youth Swimming Championships 2013. Yes, it was raining, and yes, it is mighty difficult to get a good photo of a waving flag.

    Read Speed Endurance and see results on medley.no

    Katinka Hosszu impressed the audience setting two meet records during day one of the Bergen Swim Festival – Alexander Dale Oen memorial in Bergen, Norway. The competition is being swum in short course metres.

    Despite it being prelims, and the fact she led both events by a country mile, the Hungarian swim princess went at it with all guns blazing setting a meet record in the 100 meters breaststroke (1:08.98) and the 200 meter freestyle (1:55.35).

    “In this video on Fast Swimming Techniques, Gary Hall Sr talks about how to perform a correct Streamline. Many Coaches are still teaching the ‘biceps over ears’ method, at the Race Club we believe in a different streamline that will result in 3 different ways the entire body becomes more Streamline. Find out The Race Club way to Streamline and you will find that it is not easy but significantly faster.”
