Improving a swimmer’s 10-yard dash can be valuable—not because swimmers need to become runners, but because the qualities that improve short acceleration overlap with qualities that matter in the pool.
A 10-yard sprint gives you a useful snapshot of an athlete’s ability to produce force quickly, coordinate the body, and accelerate explosively.
For swimmers, that can support:
* Starts: More rapid force production can contribute to a more powerful launch off the block.
* Turns and push-offs: The ability to produce high force quickly through the legs is important when driving off the wall.
* Rate of force development: A 10-yard sprint challenges how quickly an athlete can access strength—not simply how strong they are.

We don’t just train athletes. We develop them.
At Parisi Speed School Chicago, we focus on the whole athlete—building speed, strength, power, coordination and better movement while developing confidence, discipline and resilience.
Every athlete develops at a different pace. Our job is to coach them, challenge them and give them the tools to keep progressing.
Better movers. Stronger competitors. More confident athletes.
That’s athlete development. 💪⚡
We’re building more than faster athletes. We’re building stronger, more confident young people.
Our Speed & Sports Performance program is a community where athletes are coached, challenged, encouraged, and supported.
Yes, we develop speed, strength, power, agility, and better movement—but we also reinforce the things that matter beyond sports: confidence, work ethic, resilience, accountability, and being a great teammate.
Because developing the whole athlete has always been the goal.
Train hard. Support each other. Get better together. 💪
The vertical jump tells us a lot more than how high an athlete can jump.
We use it with all of our athletes because it gives us a measurable look at lower-body power, explosiveness, and the ability to produce force quickly—qualities that transfer across nearly every sport.
Whether an athlete needs to sprint faster, accelerate harder, change direction, jump, or react, the ability to produce force matters.
Most importantly, it gives us a baseline we can retest. Training shouldn’t just feel productive. We want to see measurable progress.
Test. Train. Retest. Get better.
That’s how we build more powerful athletes. 💥
Speed is just the beginning.
At Parisi Speed School Chicago, we don’t just make athletes faster—we help them become more explosive, more confident, and more resilient.
Every session is built on proven training methods that develop acceleration, power, agility, coordination, and movement quality. Whether your athlete is preparing for the next season or simply wants to reach their full potential, we meet them where they are and help them improve every step of the way.
Great athletes aren’t born—they’re developed through consistent coaching, hard work, and attention to the details that matter.
Train with purpose. Perform with confidence.
