Calling all Swimmers!
I am now accepting applications from around the world for the newly formed RACE CLUB. Based out of
Islamorada in the Florida Keys, The Race Club is designed to pool talented male and female swimmers
from around the world that have a shot at representing their country at the Olympics.
We are looking to establish a core team of six sprinters in addition to myself. The team will have
their housing and travel expenses to key meets paid for by The Race Club. Olympians from around the
world will also join us to train for varied amounts of time.
Jon Olsen (Olympian in 1992 and 1996) will coach the group. We will have unlimited access to the
Islamorada swim facility consisting of a $7 million, 50 meter pool located right on the ocean. The
team will have free access to weight training, yoga/pilates, core training, and massage therapy.
Male and female applicants must have a true shot at qualifying for the Olympics for their country.
Minimum qualifying times: Men: Long course 50 meters = 23.99. LC 100 meters = 52.99. Women: Long
Course: 50 Meters = 26.99. LC 100 meters = 57.99. Qualified swimmers interested in participating in
this program need to send their applications to [email hidden]. Be sure to include your:
Accomplishments Meets Resume Times Friends in swimming Press and other media Reason for wanting to
join- besides Islamorada being one of the most beautiful places in the world
Please feel free to provide any other information that will be valuable in choosing you
for our team.
I have already begun my training and I would like my new training partners to begin as soon as
possible! Availability is very limited to six swimmers, so early apologies to those that don't make
it. I look forward to swimming with you!
Best o Luck,
Gary Hall Jr. The Race Club
