Ultra Short Race Pace Training (USRPT)

USRPT is a science-based training program.  It is customized both to individual swimmers and specific races and has been shown to not only reduce injury but also prevent excessive fatigue.  Mesocycle training sessions are intense, increasing muscle strength, hypertrophy and contraction speed.


This training program for competitive swimmers will typically focus on only 1 stroke per session and necessitates that swimmers exhibit both self-monitoring and self-controlling behavior.
  1. dry-land warm-up swimmers may arrive early to complete this 
  2. race-simulated skill instruction
  3. event 1 until maximum performance velocity can no longer be reached
  4. recovery
  5. event 2 as time allows
  6. recovery
Swimmers are permitted to register for both the M,W and Tu,Th options.
