  • Sprint 101 | Swim Faster with Caeleb Dressel

    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:

    1. The Trunk (Frame) – Rotational strength and control.
    2. The Legs (Engine) – Non-stop power from hips down.
    3. 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.

    Nikki never envisioned herself as a successful athlete. She lacked athleticism and didn’t fit the conventional mold of what society considers an athlete to be. However, this did not stop her from excelling in the sport of long distance swimming in open water. Through her challenging feats of swimming in open waters under extreme conditions, such as icy lakes and immense ocean straits, she discovered the incredible strength and resilience of her mind and body. Her experiences taught her that she possesses hidden talents she never thought of. Motivated by this belief, she now shares her expertise and passion for the sport with children of diverse abilities, training and guiding them to cross the English Channel as a relay team. In doing so, she inspires them to tap into their own hidden potential and discover their inner strength.
