Backstroke Swim Technique – Stroke Rate | The Race Club
At the Race Club, we believe the three most important swim techniques in Backstroke are stroke rate, stroke rate, and stroke rate. No matter how good your swim technique is if you don’t have a high backstroke rate, you’re not going to win.Â
Head Coach Gary Hall Sr worked with American Olympic hopeful Amy Bilquist on finding her optimal stroke rate. Amy is tall and therefore has to work a little harder to maintain her peak stroke rate. In the final video of this Backstroke Stroke Rate series with Amy, we put her to the test with a set designed to challenge maintaining a stroke rate of 105. In our previous videos, we gave Amy a series of swim drills to get her comfortable and understand what it takes to get to a 105 stroke rate. It’s one thing to be able to get to this stroke rate for a 25, find out how she does throughout this test set!

Road to Tokyo: First Competition in 17 months & Q&A | Michael Gunning Vlogs
This extended Olympic Cycle has been a tough one, but I’m still battling through the highs and lows with a big smile on my face. The UK government rules and restrictions meant that British Swimming decided to change the entry conditions of the British Olympic Trials (British Championships)… which meant I was no longer allowed to compete (for the first time in over 12 years!). As I chase the chance to compete and earn my spot on the Olympic team this Summer, this video includes a Q&A (from my Instagram) where I answer some of your questions, my first long course training session in my home pool and my first (& only) competition I raced in during COVID-19!
