June 23, 2014 | By

The Telly Awards has named the “Swim Like a Champion” DVD series – available online exclusively at SwimOutlet.com – as a Silver Winner in the 35th Annual Telly Awards. “Swim Like a Champion” was produced by The Fitter & Faster Swim Tour presented by SwimOutlet.com together with Championship Productions and has been the best-selling training video on SwimOutlet.com since its launch last December.


With nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, the Silver Award is the highest honor given in the Telly Awards. A prestigious judging panel of more than 500 accomplished industry professionals, each a past winner of a Silver Telly and a member of The Silver Telly Council, judged the competition.

The five-video series features eight of the most accomplished swimmers in the world. The athletes demonstrate and describe what they are thinking about and why they do what they do during starts; turns; fast swimming; finishes; and a progression of all important drills that enable athletes to swim more efficiently and faster.
