    Dominance. That is what we see from some absolutely incredible records. A swim that is so FAST and so AHEAD of its time you can’t help but wonder if it’s even POSSIBLE to go faster.

    There are many swims in the sport’s history where we can retroactively see these outlier swims, but its always special when you can tell just how INSANE a swim is as soon as the clock stops.

    This is the NCAA record progression of the women’s 100 butterfly.

    We traveled to Tokyo to watch one of our remote athletes compete in the 200 butterfly at Japan’s World Championship Trials—one of the most competitive meets in the world.

    After the race, we had the opportunity to guest coach a session at his university, Rikkyo University, a respected college program in Japan.

    This video is a look inside Japanese swimming culture—from the energy of Trials to the quiet discipline of university training.

    Being on deck in Tokyo gave us a deeper appreciation for how Japan approaches the sport—from the bow on deck to the way they structure their training.
