The Race Club

Because its creators say that "life is worth swimming," The Race Club helps to promote swimming and its health benefits through its health and wellness videos.

The site takes a holistic approach to the sport, with videos focusing on a variety of aspects of swimming and a variety of styles, including short-course, open water, and triathlon. Through interviews with professional swimmers, video lessons, and "secret tips," The Race Club offers tips about perfecting particular strokes, nutrition, and mental and physical preparation for racing and open-water swimming. The videos attempt to help viewers improve their swimming technique and performance in the water, along with their health and self confidence.

The Race Club is the brainchild of triple-Olympic medalist Gary Hall. Dr. Hall developed the site in conjunction with his wife Mary and other members of their family.

The Race Club video page contains a brief synopsis and thumbnail image corresponding to each episode of the series. Clicking on the title of each episode takes viewers to its individual video page, which contains a player window, the reprinted synopsis, and episode comments.

Controls along the base of each player window allow fans to pause and play the clips, adjust their volume, share them with friends and view them in full screen and high definition modes.
