Announcements:

The USRP Racers Swim Team is a fast-growing USA-Swimming club whose goal is to guide each swimmer to achieve his or her maximum potential through focused training and proper technique. All practice sessions are conducted in a positive, encouraging atmosphere.

The training protocol used by the Racers is USRPT (Ultra Short Race Pace Training).

This method has three components:

Technique – strong emphasis on stroke mechanics, streamlining, starts, turns, and finishes

Mental – goal setting, race strategy, pace clock usage, importance of proper diet and adequate rest

Conditioning – training at race pace, with the focus on quality rather than quantity.
