What happens when a coach wants to help a swimmer better understand the catch? 👀

In Miami, Robert Strauss and I started experimenting with a question he had about helping his 15-year-old granddaughter better understand what she’s doing at the beginning of the catch.

We introduced a rotational bow-and-arrow drill — incorporating breath and an inclining fingertip — not as the finished answer, but as a way to begin helping both coach and swimmer feel and visualize what the body is actually doing.

That’s the part of coaching I love.

Before we can improve a movement, sometimes we first have to create a way to see it, feel it and understand it.

Robert started noticing things.

So we kept the camera rolling.

What do you notice?

That’s a wrap! 🎬🌊

This week I sat down with Inside Success TV in Miami to tell a story decades in the making.

Swimming. Family. Adversity. Coaching. Entrepreneurship. And eventually an idea that became Rip Current Sports and Dual Boards.

But the part that matters most to me isn’t being on television.

It’s the mission:

Create swimmers. Create faster swimmers.

From someone learning to find balance in the water to competitive swimmers searching for another fraction of a second, Dual Boards were created to help swimmers feel and improve their body position in the water.

From the first float to the fastest swim.

This is only the beginning. More to come. 🌊

Dual Boards are now patented in Mexico. 🇲🇽

Mexican Patent No. 436981 has officially been granted.

From an idea in the water, to building the first Boards, to swimmers and coaches across the country—and now patent protection in both the United States and Mexico.

We’re proud of how far this idea has traveled.

And we’re just getting started.

Patent Protected. Performance Driven.

Some improvements in swimming aren’t explained...

They’re experienced.

One of my favorite parts of coaching is watching the moment when a swimmer begins to feel better body position instead of simply hearing about it.

Every time I get back in the water, I’m reminded that I’m still learning too.

What do you notice first?

Some skills in swimming can’t be understood from the deck.
They have to be felt.

That’s one reason I still spend time experimenting in the water—not just coaching from the side.

What’s one drill that completely changed the way you swim?

Every swimmer is different.

The water doesn’t ask them to move the same.

Why should training?

At Rip Current Sports, we’ve always believed better balance creates better body position—and better body position creates opportunity.

That’s why we keep pushing what’s possible.

Every breakthrough starts with a better foundation.

Balance.
Body position.
Confidence.

For years, we’ve challenged the idea that swim training has to stay the same.

This is only the beginning.

More soon. 🌊
