Imagine watching two of the best female swimmers in history, Regan Smith and Kaylee McKeown, go head-to-head in backstroke races at the Olympics. Despite backstroke often being overlooked, Smith and McKeown have made it their domain, earning Swimmer of the Year titles in 2019 and 2023, respectively. Regan Smith made waves at just 17 by breaking three world records, thanks to her unparalleled underwater dolphin kicks and high-tempo swims. Kaylee McKeown, after returning to top form under coach Michael Bohl, shattered all three backstroke world records in 2023, including Smith's 200 backstroke record. Their contrasting styles—Smith's explosive starts and McKeown's powerful finishes—make their races thrilling to watch. As they prepare to compete in Paris 2024, they face fierce competition from rising star Summer McIntosh. Will one of them break McKeown's 200 backstroke world record? Watch to find out, and learn how you can swim faster too. See you there! Swim fast!
