- See Less - As a world-class coach, Nate’s philosophy and approach to training swimmers aligns perfectly with Tide Swim Team’s mission to “Develop personal excellence for each member of our team, foremost in swimming, but also in life.” Boyle’s philosophy is to create an environment that encourages setting and achieving short and long-term goals, a positive atmosphere of teamwork and a model where every coach and swimmer can achieve success. Prior to joining TIDE, Boyle assisted David Marsh at the Mecklenburg Aquatic Club Center of Excellence. The highly successful program reached new heights under Marsh's leadership as three athletes qualified to compete at the 2008 Beijing Olympics that has now produced two gold medals and one epic world record. In addition to his work with SwimMAC, Boyle also served as an assistant coach at Davidson College where the women's team won a conference title and the combined squad claimed 18 new team records. Before arriving in the Charlotte area he served as the USA Swimming National Team Physiology Coordinator, assisting National Team coaches and athletes with lactate and race analysis feedback and supporting research efforts into supplemental oxygen and force production with Auburn University Kinesiology professors David Pascoe and Wendi Weimar. While pursuing a M.S. in Exercise Science at his alma mater, Boyle, alongside of Bryan Karkoska, coached a group of professional athletes that included a 2004 Olympic gold medalist who became the third-fastest American ever in the 100-meter breaststroke. As a competitive swimmer himself, Nate was an NCAA Division I All-American and USA National finalist as a member of Auburn University's 1999 NCAA Championship Team. In addition, he represented the United States as a National Team member at the Pan American Games that same year. His accomplishments as an athlete also include Olympic Trials qualification standards in 2000 and 2004. Boyle received his B.A. in political science from Auburn University. Nate, his wife Amanda, and their son Bear are excited to join the Hampton Roads community.
So does anyone know where to find the Aussie Race Pace Charts? I would love to look at them. Also is there more to the Rollercoaster kick than hands apart and belly button dry?
why lol at rollercoaster kick. Great drill that has improved not only my balance in the water but my free and back. Sorry you feel that way. It is a drill that could help any swimmer.
Thanks Nate for another great workout, wish I had anything close to this when I was swimming, and thanks flo swimming for being there to capture it for us.

Looks to me like the video shows a senior group. Not sure the entire team could practice together all at one time. Lots easier to keep up the focus and motivation when everyone in the pool is on the same page. Interesting workout = interesting video. I have no issue with one group being featured so that we Floswimming fans can see another team's workout. So critical!
CD, hard for an exercise phys guy to just do something entirely for the "fun" of it. It is in his bio and his blood, a science guy.
Dawgs, remember there are segments of the race that you have cycles/rates and no start from the blocks. could be off first turn, could be off the block, he did not specify. However, trying to push for those times/cycles/rates from a push makes it a challenge.
Awesome, it is nice to see clubs and coaches making things more challenging without pumping up the yards. Feeling the burn..
With this Aussie race pace chart thing, how do they reach their time with no starts? If is based on where they should be, wouldn't they be behind already by starting from a push?
Ok, I've been pretty good about releasing a workout a week so I figure for the sake of alliteration I should start doing a Weekly Wednesday Workout. What do you think?
