The experimentation and innovation supported by research that you and your coach (family) are bringing to the support is really intelligent. It's great that you are so transparent with your methodologies. That is the hallmark of good science. This video was very informative. You approach swim training not ideologically, but intelligently. It's empirical, evidence based training. Your quiet confidence is warranted. You guys are doing more for swimming than just collecting hardware (trophies). I think you also manage to show great respect for the sport as you challenge orthodoxy. Good job Andrew family!
Michael Andrew I love hearing how you swim and what your practices are, it’s cool for me as a age group swimmer to see what you do, I look up to you for sure!
MARLIN GOD Dressel and Murphy are pretty much locked into the relay. Murphy looks really good and Dressel is already 50.5 without taper. I think Andrew can be like 59.0 flat start and probably 58 relay start. The relay is going to be crazy good
Loved the video! It was neat to hear about how USRPT fits into Team USA training for you. Good luck at PanPacs! The Grant Shoults playing tour guide and relay starts sections were my faves.
I was so glad I met you today you had amazing races. Thanks for taking a pic with me and signing my shirt. (I was the guy wearing the neon green shirt)
Very excited to see Michael Andrew break through, be on a senior national team. I've been a follower since age group days, even before you turned pro. I'll be honest, I hoped it would work out for you, but wasn't confident. I didn't think training alone would work for one thing. My own kid loves to train with others, hates to alone. Then there's the fact that yr dad didn't know swimming from his own experience. And then there was USRPT, which I only wondered about because so many others didn't believe. Let's face it, you are the best example, by far, that it works. Well, congratulations to you both for having shown all the doubters. Can I still be a fan having been a doubter? Yes, I can! If you would, please, let me know how many times per day USRPT allows you to train. I know you had your own pool and in-house coach. Is USRPT valid if someone can train just once a day (most people). Is it really only best if you can fit in doubles (or even triples)? I sense that it is incredibly tiring, needs a shorter timeframe, but then any aerobic shortfall should be made up for by training additional sessions. That is my sense, but you tell me, please, exactly how often you trained. Thank you, best wishes, and I will continue to enjoy watching you.
Once a day is great for most people. It can be tiring but you feel great 10-20 minutes after you finish. There is no aerobic shortfall. You train the events you swim and the aerobic/anaerobic systems are optimized for the event. If he was a miler he'd be doing 100/200s at 1500 pace.
James Swims youth specialization means sport specialization. Have them play soccer, baseball, etc. other seasons. Age groupers aren’t trained this way cuz 99% of coaches don’t fully understand it
Does Michael work on technique between USRPT sets while recovering and flushing the lactate from his body, or are seperate times/days set apart fro this aspect - I ask more especially for training younger age group athletes from age 10-14 (from an Ex-Pat South African now living in Israel) :)
So if you're aiming to hold 12.5 on your breast that'd be 50 seconds for a 100 breast? I'm assuming you ad a second for each turn but also that the start takes away at least a second? Why is your 100 breast pace so fast?
Peterson Brothers Productions turns are the second fastest portion of the race behind the start. Im not sure if it’s the same in breast, but I’d assume so as long as his pullouts are good
I don't think you understood my question. Have you done USRPT? He is timed from when his feet leave the wall to when his hands touch the wall. That cuts out the time it would take for him to touch the wall turn around and have his feet leave the next wall. Perhaps this was a yards pool and that would explain the crazy fast time. 50.0 makes more sense for a pace for him in SCY than SCM.
I have a 15yr old swimmer and I have learned so much from you and your vlogs and posts. Thanks. Does your dad train other swimmers or does he give lessons?
That’s the general theory. 100 pace for 200IM and 200 stroke pace for 400IM. What you should really do is take your IM splits for each stroke and use those. Sets of 50s for 200IM and sets of 75 or 100s for 400IM. Don’t switch stokes within a set. More sets for your weak stroke and less sets for your strong stroke. Always use a technical microcycle
It gave me anxiety watching the first 20 seconds of this vlog when Michael was walking through all of those low corridors and he was skimming his head along the barriers 😨
1) how much actual practice time are you in the pool and how does that compare to traditional swimmers? 2) what events are you working towards most heavily for tokyo in 2020? We know you like the 50s but that really limits your potential for olympic medals, obviously.....

What was your favorite part of the vlog????? Love hearing your opinions!
Michael Andrew The swimming part lol😀
Michael Andrew I love hearing how you swim and what your practices are, it’s cool for me as a age group swimmer to see what you do, I look up to you for sure!
Your personal insights.
tidepool trip !!
Besides the tide pool, the “been doing it for years comments”.. never ceases to bring a small lol.
1 am and i am watching swimmers, i adore swimming
Herissa Malaoui In my country is 3am
I love these underwater shots they are so amazing
Great to see you uploading!! I always wait for them. 😃
OhSean Swimming COACH :D
Cool to see u here ohsean
"Race-pace training" good to see that what's old is new again. Swimmers young and old appreciate your insights. Good luck.
Great video! Amazing to see a different point of view of the professionals traveling.
Lol. Grandpas Nathan Adrian and Grevers don’t hang out with the young guys. Probably gotta take recovery naps after practice.
=)))))
My favorite part of the video is when you showed your roommate, also when you showed how to train for Pan Pacs! Good luck ! You will do great!! 🤗
Does Troy do USRPT in between 10 x 400 IM sets? 😀
He's been using the MP system since the 70's also
You're making those orange trunks iconic, there becoming your trademark! LOL
Brilliant video! Would love to see you or Caeleb race scm and go for the sub-20!
Great vid, really interesting to hear Ray Loose and Greg Troy talk about working with you and their thoughts on USRPT.
Good luck at Pan Pacs man!
Also you, Dressel and Murphy in the same relay (subject to change). Holy shonks
MARLIN GOD Dressel and Murphy are pretty much locked into the relay. Murphy looks really good and Dressel is already 50.5 without taper. I think Andrew can be like 59.0 flat start and probably 58 relay start. The relay is going to be crazy good
Great Perspective form Gregg Troy's Comments on USRPT.
You and Cody Miller are the best, Showing the life of pros. Love the vids, Keep it up!
It was cool hearing positive opinions from other coaches on USRPT training! Sounds like it will become much more popular moving forward!
Best of luck Andrew!
I love that you train with usrpt, I recently discovered and sounds crazy!
12K to 14K in a week, been with you since the start Michael❤️
Great video Michael. Please film more food in Tokyo. And good luck in all your races. Let's go. 💪
Very good luck at Pan Pacs! You can do it! Beast mode on!❤️💪🏽

Awesome video!! Loved the time laps while you were swimming!! Good luck at Pan Pacs!!
Any plans for 200 IM in 2020? Crazy sweep in Des Moines. Huge thanks for having the confidence to be transparent with your training.
I will cheer you on the Pan Pac!
Good job at pan pac. I was watching you swim at the route zone at nationals
Always excited for your videos!! Good luck on PAN PACS!!
Interesting to hear other coaches reactions to coaching you especially with USRPT!

Thanks! It sounds like the only reason age groupers aren't trained this way is because they don't want young kids specializing.

Great video and Good luck for PAN PACS 😘🇧🇪
Good luck!! From Colombia🇨🇴
Great Content so excited to see what’s to come!
Loved this vlog, your editing just keeps getting better 👍🏻❤️
Good luck💪🏼 swim fast🙏🏻🙏🏻
Was that Childish Flamingo that I heard playing at 11:30?
The shots were amazing 7:34 - 7:44 .. what camera do you use ?
Hey Andrew....all the best for The Pan Pacs....just wanted to know the eating routine of your tapper period.....
Awesome job on your 50 free!!
What is the goggle Caeleb Dressel used in the video?
Love your videos!
Nice video. Thank you! Everyone seems to be positive. Good luck!
Michael you know who will be beside you on the starting blocks.
Exited to see you race in tokyo
Awesome video 4:12 is such a sick shot
What pants do you wear Michael for training and competitions?
11:21 How many shrimps do you have to eat, before it makes your skin turn pink. Eat too much and you’ll get sick.... shrimps are pretty rich..
Are you coming to Denmark anytime soon?
Great vid
What was that thing he put down before he got into the pool with his cap, goggles, and water bottle at 3:17
GoPro camera
Damn I’m addicted to your vlogs
I love your vlogs sooo muchh!!
Hi Andrew. Good Luck. Question: How long do you use the Kaatsu occlusion after your primary training session?
hey michael, what does your taper look like? considering you do less meters than the average swimmer per practice
Probably less 25s and maybe some off the blocks
Does Michael work on technique between USRPT sets while recovering and flushing the lactate from his body, or are seperate times/days set apart fro this aspect - I ask more especially for training younger age group athletes from age 10-14 (from an Ex-Pat South African now living in Israel) :)
Can anyone identify the song at 3:20?
Do you only do usrpt or do you do other sets. If so what do you do
What camera do you use to film underwater?
What goggles are those
Awesome vid my man! Best of luck against the australians
Caeleb dressell at 11:15 hilarious😁😁😂
He's always really funny
What sunglasses are those?
So if you're aiming to hold 12.5 on your breast that'd be 50 seconds for a 100 breast? I'm assuming you ad a second for each turn but also that the start takes away at least a second? Why is your 100 breast pace so fast?

Does your dad train other swimmers or does he give lessons?
Does pan pacs stand for something
Pan pacific
You should do a video about Robert Finke
what vlog setup do you have?
Loveee it
I still dont get why u would start on foot departure but anyway
Hello, please make Russian subtitles. I just want to watch your video, but I can not. Thank you
Viva putin
Hey this isn’t really related to the video but how do you train for the 400IM with USRPT?
Sets of 50s at 200 stroke paces. Sets of transition turns every so often
Beyond Water Polo but that’s for 200IM
That’s the general theory. 100 pace for 200IM and 200 stroke pace for 400IM. What you should really do is take your IM splits for each stroke and use those. Sets of 50s for 200IM and sets of 75 or 100s for 400IM. Don’t switch stokes within a set. More sets for your weak stroke and less sets for your strong stroke. Always use a technical microcycle
Beyond Water Polo what’s a technical microcycle
Wyatt!!!

soooo why no surfing footy ?!?! 😂
11:08 caleb dressel just pops up
Yo my nigga just won the gold 🏅 ! Ayy
It gave me anxiety watching the first 20 seconds of this vlog when Michael was walking through all of those low corridors and he was skimming his head along the barriers 😨
You said your goal was to hold under 12.5 on 20x25 breast with 15 sec rest. You said you held around 12.0. On ALL 20? No fails at all???
9:53
Greg Troy's a good coach defiantly, but damn he just doesn't stop talking xD
Nice
11:20 FLAMINGO
11:30 😂
