This week’s ASCA Talk comes from renowned swimming coach and researcher Ernie Maglischo from the 1998 World Clinic.
He provided some fascinating new insights into the mechanics of swimming propulsion. Having long been a proponent of lift-based theories, Coach Maglischo admitted he may have been wrong in his understanding and presented compelling evidence that drag forces likely play a much larger role than previously thought.
Coach Maglischo walks you through the history of research in this area, from Schleihauf’s early plaster hand studies showing lift dominance, to more recent work calling those results into question. He acknowledged the difficulties in accurately measuring lift and drag on a moving swimming hand. Through his own experimentation using velocity meters on swimmers, Coach Maglischo observed that strokes emphasizing sculling motions led to deceleration, contradicting lift-based theories.
A key realization was that while stroke patterns appear to involve significant in-out and down-up movement, propulsion actually occurs primarily during the backward portion of the stroke. Coach Maglischo now believes swimmers are using their entire arm as a paddle to push water backwards, not sculling it.
He introduced the concept of shoulder adduction as the primary propulsive movement in all strokes. This inward arcing motion of the arm allows it to function like an effective paddle throughout the pull. Flexion of the arm also occurs more abruptly than previously thought.
Overall, this talk provided a fascinating re-examination of long-held beliefs about swimming biomechanics and stroke mechanics. Even though this talk is 20+ years old, I still found it to be insightful.

This week Brett welcomes Robin Dale Oen on the show to talk about his late brother Alexander Dale Oen, the Norwegian Olympic swimmer who tragically passed away in 2012 at the age of 26. Robin and Alexander grew up swimming together and dreamed of competing in the Olympics. While Robin had success as a sprinter, Alexander established himself as one of the world's top breaststrokers, winning silver at the 2008 Olympics behind Kosuke Kitajima.
Tragically, Alexander passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition just months before the 2012 London Olympics, where he was considered a top contender. To honor his brother's memory and legacy, Robin started the Dale Oen Foundation, which uses outdoor activities to inspire and develop youth across Norway. The foundation now has six centers around the country serving over 1,000 young people annually.

Jani Sievinen is a retired Finnish swimmer who achieved great success in the sport in the 1990s alongside compatriot, Antti Kasvio, who won Bronze in the 200 Free at the 1992 Olympics.
Jani specialized in the IM events and was known for his versatility across all four swim strokes. He was considered one of the top swimmers in the world during his career, breaking the 200 IM World Record at the 1994 World Championships - it lasted almost 9 years until Michael Phelps broke it.
He won 5 World Championship titles, broke 9 World Records, and won Silver in the 200 IM at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics behind his friend, Hungarian Attila Czene.
After retiring from competitive swimming, Jani struggled with his identity and depression. He found fulfillment in a career coaching and mentoring young swimmers. He has contributed to the development of the sport in Finland by visiting swim clubs, conducting clinics, and sharing his knowledge and experiences with the next generation of athletes.

I sit down with @TheSwimsuitGuy to talk about Michael Andrew and more specifically the last 50m of his 200 Individual Medley. Most people think he struggled so much at the end this race because he doesn't train hard enough but Sonny think it is purely Michael Andrew's freestyle technique.

Stephane Lecat is the National Manager for the French Open Water Team. He was also bad ass open water swimmer himself. So much so, that he is being inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame this weekend not as a coach but as a swimmer.
Stephane won 3 World Championship titles and 19 FINA World Cup races during his 14 year professional swimming career. He swam the English Channel in 8 hours and 19 minutes. He was an absolute beast.
Now he guides others in both the pool and open water to become champions.

Tonight’s keynote speaker is a great coach. I always like to talk about a great coach. I like to put him in perspective. Many of us think that being a great coach means that you fall into a great job. Not tonight. This guy has paid his dues. He was the head age group coach at the Cincinnati Marlins. He was the senior assistant coach for the Las Vegas Gold swim team. He was the head coach for the Birmingham Swim League. He was the head coach for the Napa Valley swim team. Then he went to the NBAC and worked as the head senior coach there under Coach Murray Stevens. He met a young athlete there in whom he saw a lot of talent: Michael Phelps. I think that the best thing, and the thing that I respect the most about Bob, ever since I had an opportunity to work with him after Michael made the 2000 Olympic team at the age of 14, is that Bob always had a vision that he instilled in Michael. They were not necessarily Bob’s goals, but the vision was Bob’s vision, and Bob helped Michael set his goals and he helped Michael believe in his goals. When Bob went from North Baltimore to the University of Michigan, Michael followed him to train. We all know what happened there! One of the best things that happened recently is that Bob has purchased and will become the CEO and head coach of the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, the place where he met Michael. Going back to his roots, and going into business with Michael to continue the dream at North Baltimore Aquatic Club is an awesome thing for Unites States Swimming – especially considering all of the work that Murray Stevens has put into that dream in the NBAC culture. Ladies and Gentlemen, here is probably the best coach of our generation: Coach Bob Bowman.

Susie O'Neill is one of Australia's most successful Olympians ever. Madame Butterfly won a Bronze (Barcelona), Gold (Atlanta), and Silver (Sydney) over 3 Olympics in the 200 Fly. She also won the 200 Free in Sydney -- a race that can be a bit overshadowed in a career filled with big races. She stood on the podium at 3 different Olympics 8 separate times.

Today's American Swimming Coaches Association talk comes from Olympic gold medalist, Josh Davis.
Josh represented the United States at the 1996 Summer Olympics where he won three gold medals in all three relays. At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, he won two silver medals. He held various American records during his swimming career. He swam for the University of Texas, where he was an NCAA champion and a multiple-time All-American.
After retiring from competitive swimming, he has been involved in various aspects of the swimming community as a motivational speaker, swim clinic leader, and coach, sharing his knowledge and experiences with swimmers of all ages.
In this world clinic talk, Josh shares his insights on the key things that good coaches do. Born and raised in San Antonio, he initially struggled in swimming, but with the help of supportive coaches, he became a successful athlete.
Josh highlights the crucial role that coaches play in shaping the lives of young athletes. They serve as role models, authority figures, and substitute parents for the athletes they work with. As a result, coaches bear a tremendous responsibility. He emphasizes the importance of balance and character in coaching philosophy, which he has experienced firsthand with his long-time coach, Eddie Reese.
Throughout his speech, Josh encourages coaches to find a balance in their approach, maintain their integrity, and be aware of the profound impact they have on their athletes. He also urges athletes to never give up on their dreams or let negativity stand in their way. At the end of the day, the act of giving oneself through coaching can lead to a fulfilling life and lasting impact on those they mentor.

Brett Hawke speaks with his longtime friend Lionel Moreau. They discuss their connection as "brothers from another mother" and their journey as swimmers who moved to the United States in search of the American dream. Lionel and Roman Barnier didn’t make the 1996 Olympic team, but they decided to stay in the US and attend college for swimming.
They reminisce about their beginnings at Auburn University, where they formed the "foreign connection" - a team consisting of Lionel, Roman, and Brett. Their experience at Auburn began with some financial sacrifices, supported by their parents back home. They took pride in being part of the foreign connection and embraced the American culture, proving themselves through hard work and dedication.

Marcelo Chierighini talks about his recent successes in swimming after a prolonged break, expressing gratitude for the support he's received. He mentions that he hadn't swum for a long time, with his last satisfying swim dating back to 2019. Marcelo Chierighini credits his recent success to changes he made to his training program, which included focusing on the 50m freestyle and reducing his yardage in the pool. He and his coach revamped their lifting program, lifting heavier weights and working on increasing his tempo during training. Perhaps the most significant factor for Marcelo's success was regaining his excitement and energy for training. Prior to the change, he wasn't enjoying the long sets in his previous training program.

This week's American Swimming Coaches Association talk comes from Dr. Rayma Ditson Sommer. Her presentation "All Training is Not Physical" focuses on the importance of understanding and utilizing brain waves in training. The talk covers the speaker's experience in working with attention deficit clients, including Olympic Champion, Gary Hall Junior.
Dr. Rayma highlights the critical differences between attention, relaxation, and focus, as well as the role of brainwaves. Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta. In determining a person's ability to perform at their best. Remember what Romain Barnier said last week about relaxation...
Dr. Rayma also shares examples of practical techniques to help athletes improve their focus and achieve optimal performance. Such as unrolling the ears for bilateral hearing, speaking into the right ear for direct communication. And utilizing neurotechnology with light and sound to achieve a relaxation response. These methods have proven to be effective not only in improving athletes' performance but also in helping them better manage stress, anxiety, and overall well-being.

Carson Foster is back and LIVE! Carson explains that his decision to go pro has been in the works since early fall and resulted from lots of thinking and praying. He wanted to ensure he could focus on his final NCAA season before announcing the news of his decision to go pro to his teammates and coaches, which he did shortly after NCAAs. Carson admits that he put pressure on himself during his NCAA season and wasn't happy with his performance, but he has learned from the experience and is excited to focus on what he loves most: long course swimming. He will finish his college coursework with a few summer classes and one final semester that will be light on electives leading up to the Olympic Trials. This doesn't change much for him, as he will still be at Texas training with his brother and the rest of the Longhorn team through the Olympic Trials.

Fast Swims Around the World: Australian/Hungarian/Russian Champs + the Berlin Open
The swim of the week, and probably of the year thus far, came from Kazan. After a head-turning 1:04.92 100 breast, Evgenia Chikunova really dropped jaws with a masterful 2:17.55 200 breast world record. That swim absolutely eviscerated Tatjana Schoenmaker's 2:18.95 standard from Tokyo, and the splits were pristine: 32.13/35.15/35.19/35.08. The bodyline, the kick power, the effortless change of gear.

The interview is with FBI Agent Donald Soranno, who has spent more than 26 years as a special agent in the ATF, which stands for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The ATF originally started as an agency responsible for the collection of taxes on tobacco manufacturers, alcohol manufacturers, and the regulation of the firearms industry. Over time, the agency also started actual criminal investigations, and after 9/11, it added explosives to its name, focusing on the criminal use of explosive devices, while the FBI focused on the terrorist use of explosive devices. Soranno discusses how the agency is responsible for licensing tobacco manufacturers, alcohol distributors, and stores that sell firearms. He mentions investigations he was involved in regarding tobacco smuggling, where individuals were driving to states with lower taxes on cigarettes and selling them on the black market, earning millions of dollars a year, and even funneling some of the profits to terrorist organizations overseas. He also worked on explosive-related cases and oversaw the arson explosive group while in Chicago. He also worked on the National Explosives Task Force, which looked at every explosive incident that happened in the United States and had to determine if they were criminal acts or terrorist acts. Soranno describes the agency's role in investigating the Boston Marathon bombing and how they identified some of the individuals from the video footage.

This week's American Swimming Coaches Association talk comes from Olympic gold medalist, Anita Nall.
Anita joined the swim team at the age of five. By age 12, she set age group records and at 14 years old notched an American record. Swimming for Coach Murray Stephens at the legendary North Baltimore Aquatic Club, she developed a technically-perfect breaststroke using the new-style stroke of the time.
At age 15, only a sophomore in high school, she qualified for the 1992 Olympic team. In the process, she set two World Records on the same day in the 200 meter breaststroke.
Competing as the “baby” of the 1992 Barcelona Team, Nall won gold, silver and bronze medals swimming the breaststroke events. Her gold medal swim came as a member of the 4x100 meter medley relay, which also set the World Record. Her silver medal came in the 100 meter breaststroke as she was just out-touched by Russia’s Elena Rudouskaya, and the bronze medal in the 200 meter breaststroke where only point two seconds separated gold from bronze.
Nall continued swimming after the Olympic Games, winning gold medals in the 100 and 200 meter breaststroke at the 1993 Pan Pacific Championships. Due to chronic health problems that went incorrectly diagnosed for years, her swimming faltered and she was unable to qualify for the 1996 or 2000 Olympic Teams.
Today, Nall is a Holistic Nutrition Specialist focusing on nutrition and wellness where she conducts workshops.
In, "Girls to Women", Anita Nall discusses the three phases of a young girl's swimming career, the "little girls stage," the "adolescent transitional period," and "womanhood."
She talks about how girls get into swimming for different reasons, how adolescent girls can be difficult to coach, and how adult athletes want to learn and understand what they are doing.
Stick around after her talk for details on the coaches clinics we've got coming up. And don't forget to sign up for the World Clinic in Dallas this September being headlined by Bob Bowman and Vern Gambetta.

Don Swartz got his start as a club coach in 1967 when he worked with George French at the Ladera Oaks Aquatic Club in Northern California as an age group coach. After living in Davis, California, he moved to Marin County to become the Head Coach of the Marin Aquatic Club. From 1970 to 1976, he coached a number of swimmers who went on to make the Olympic, World Championship, and Pan-American teams. Some of these swimmers set world records. One of his swimmers, Rick DeMont, broke the 4-minute mark in the 400-meter freestyle race at the World Championships in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in 1973. He was the first person to do this.
The Marin Aquatic Club had a lot of high school All-Americans and usually finished in the top 10 at the AAU National Championships. Don was on the Board of the ASCA and spoke at a number of World Clinics for the ASCA. He was a coach on the teams for the 1975 World Championships and the 1977 dual meets in East Germany and Russia for the national teams.
Don started the Creative Performance Institute in 1977. For eight years, it was his main job to teach coaches and athletes about the mental side of sports. In his workshops, he talked about things like setting goals, taking risks, dealing with anxiety, and visualizing. Many high school, club, and college teams were among his clients. He also worked in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Sweden, and Ireland, all of which are in other countries.
His dedication is best shown by saying, "My goal is to be the best coach I can be by continuing to grow." As a coach, I'm still getting better. Since I no longer coach in a vacuum, every week my skills improve."

The following talk was presented by Gregg Troy & Larry Shofe at the 1995 World Clinic in New Orleans.
Gregg Troy was the Head Coach and Larry Shofe was the Senior Coach of the Bolles School Sharks in Jacksonville, Florida.
At the time of this talk, the Bolles School had produced 20+ Olympians, 22 Florida State Championship Teams, 3 National Prep Championship Teams, 7 Junior National Championship Teams, and winners of the overall combined 1995 USA Swimming National Championships.
This talk provides an overview of the qualities and characteristics of a successful assistant coach, as well as advice on how to evaluate a potential assistant coaching position. Plus, advice on how to hire and manage assistant coaches in a swim program.
Key takeaways from Coach Larry Shofe:
Unselfishness is an important attribute of an assistant coach.
It is important to evaluate the job security, responsibilities, and location of a potential assistant coaching position.
A successful assistant coach should have a good relationship with the head coach, gain their trust and respect, and be willing to put in the same hours as the head coach.
Key takeaways from Coach Gregg Troy:
Understand the goals of assistant coaches and give them opportunities to achieve them. "Let them work."
Make sure to be clear about expectations and responsibilities.
Look for loyalty, dependability, a caring attitude, and a willingness to learn in assistant coaches.

Men's 4x100 meter freestyle relay at the 2000 Summer Olympics was held on September 16, 2000 at the Sydney International Aquatic Centre in Sydney, Australia.
The Australians won an Olympic gold medal for the first time in 36 years, and they did it in front of their delirious home fans. Australians Michael Klim (48.18), Chris Fydler (48.48), and Ashley Callus (48.74) won the gold medal in a time of 3:13.67 thanks to Ian Thorpe's anchor leg of 48.30, after he had lost the lead to Gary Hall, Jr. of the United States at the 350-meter mark. By setting the pace early in the race, Klim was able to beat the previous world record set by his Russian training partner Alexander Popov in 1994 by 0.03 seconds.
Hall wrote on his blog before the 4 x 100 meter freestyle relay, " "It is my unreliable opinion that we will decimate the Australian 4x100m relay team like a band of guitars. The United States has always performed admirably under pressure. This time, however, the logic in my far-flung head tells me that the United States won't have it so simple to dominate the oceans." After the race, in response to Hall's comments, the Australians air-guitared on the pool deck. Hall commented on the race's significance, saying, "I can't even play the guitar correctly... As far as relay races go, that was the best one I've ever participated in. My hat is out to the legendary Ian Thorpe. Finishing stronger than I did, he beat me." Michael Klim, one of the Australians on the winning 4x100 relay team, remembered that "First to come over and offer his congratulations was swimmer Hall. His rough treatment of others did not make him any less of a sportsman ".
Hall (48.24), Anthony Ervin (48.89), Neil Walker (48.31), and Jason Lezak (48.42) of Team USA finished in second place, 1.25 seconds behind the Australians' world record time from five years ago, but still set a new American record with a time of 3:13.86.
At the same time, the Brazilian relay team of Fernando Scherer (49.79), Gustavo Borges (48.61), Carlos Jayme (49.88), and Edvaldo Silva Filho (49.12) won bronze with a time of 3 minutes, 17 seconds, and 40 seconds.
While the rest of the championship field included the likes of Germany (3:17.77), Italy (3:17.85), Sweden (3:19.60), and France (3:21.00), Popov's Russia was disqualified due to an early relay launch from Andrey Kapralov on the lead-off leg.
The Dutch team, without Pieter van den Hoogenband in the morning preliminary heats, nonetheless managed to set the fastest time with a 3:18.32, but they were eliminated from the final race after Dennis Rijnbeek made an illegal early jump during the second exchange.

Fast Swims of the Week:
Apostolos Siskos, not to be confused with Apostolos Christos, blasted a 1:56.79 long course 200 backstroke. Christos retains his Greek record. But for how much longer? The 17 year old Siskos is improving rapidly. He's down another 2 seconds since Euros last year.
Adam Peaty, the double Olympic champion, kicked off his season with 27.10 in the 50m breaststroke and 59.57 in the 100m breaststroke at the 2023 Southport Olympic Preparation Meet in Australia. A few Brits have been training in Australia, avoiding the rain and 38 degree weather back home.
The 200 Free Olympic Champ, Tom Dean, went a spicy 1:46.33.
There was a two day meet in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Logan Fontaine went 15:10 in the 1500. Maxime Grousset went 22.3/49.1 in the Frees and 23.3/52.0 in the Flies.
French backstroker and European Champion, Yohann Ndoye-Brouard, fractured his elbow on December 27th while skiing. He has been out of the water for 6 weeks.
Leon Marchand continues to tear short course yards swimming a new rear-end. Over the weekend he went 4:07 in the 500 Free in a dual meet. He also dropped a 44.7 100 Back — also good for the #1 time this year. Leon is now the fastest swimmer in the NCAA in 7 different events.
BTW, in front of a full crowd, Arizona didn't win a single swimming event vs. Arizona State. OuChhhhhh.
Last but not least, Kate Douglass of UVA broke her own NCAA record in the 200 Breast during a time trial that the NCAA won't recognize. But, 2:01.43 is still ridiculous and the new American Record.
The voice of swimming puts a few American coaches on his Mount Rushmore of swim coaches.

This week's ASCA Talk comes from Hall of Fame Coach, Don Swartz. These come out every other Wednesday.
Chuck Warner believes it might just be the best talk in ASCA history!
Coach Don Swartz discusses the concept of a "quantum leap" in performance, both in the scientific and colloquial sense, and explores the three key ingredients necessary for achieving such a leap.
Key takeaways:
A quantum leap is a dramatic improvement in performance that is out of the ordinary and not anticipated.
The three key ingredients for achieving a quantum leap are "Nonsense," "The beginner's mind", and "The dance within the game."
Creative minds are those who venture boldly into unexplored territory beyond the barrier of the obvious.

Brett & Sonny talks about the upcoming season, which includes a major summer meet in the United States, as well as trials in the UK and Asia. They also mention that after the World Championships, Russian swimmers will compete as individuals at the Asian Games. This is a sad event, as the war in Ukraine needs to end.
They about how the ISL (International Swimming League) has been struggling recently and how this could spell the death of the league. The author talks about how a team competition would be a good way to support swimming and how it is difficult to follow swimming competitions closely due to the lack of interest in the sport.
Louise Hansson was very unchallenged in races and that Sophie broke Ruta Meilytute's meet record in the 50 breaststroke. Dan Wiffin and Romanchuk of Ukraine were neck and neck in the 1500 meter race, and then Dan won the 800 meter race.
Pat Forde, a professional sports writer, is on the upcoming 299th episode of Inside with Brett Hawke.
The boys talk about the USA Swimming Olympic trial order of events, which includes Katie Ledecky's planned events. Nate says that this schedule will keep Ledecky physically and mentally fresh, and she will have a clean shot at all her swims. Michael Andrew and Regan Smith event schedule.
The text discusses how competitive the 100 yard freestyle could be between teams from different countries. He speculates that the British teams would have to come to America to swim yards, and that the event could be something fun for bragging rights.
24 year old Ryan Hoffer has retired and is moving on to a new career in medical sales.
Hunter Armstrong is the fastest man in history over 50 meters backstroke without a turn. He's very tall yet has nearly no rotation in his backstroke. How? Why? Should more people be doing this?

Dr. Sam Freas' 10 Essentials of Sprinting:
Race every day in practice.
Swim at 100% speed all year long, not just during a taper.
Swim superfast all year long, not just during a taper.
Always work dryland to improve the components of fitness: strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, agility, and flexibility.
Work on starts, turns, and finishes almost every day in practice. At least 5 workouts per week.
Practice swimming with no breath during a 50 and with only a few breaths during a 100. This gives better body position and better speed.
Execute a high kick with the heels nine to fifteen inches out of the water. This gives better body position.
Practice reaction drills every day.
Change the training if a loss of speed results due to the trashing of the cardiovascular system or overtraining of the neuromuscular system.
Be happy, don't worry, get plenty of sleep and eat healthily.
This was shared by Coach Mike White of Madison Aquatics Club on Twitter.
In 1989, Dr. Freas was appointed President and CEO of the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and held that position until 2004. His books “Sprinting: A Coach’s Challenge” and "Sprinting II: It Takes Guts", have shaped and influenced thousands of coaches. They are must-read books for any swim coach.

We are proud to announce that we've joined forces with the American Swimming Coaches Association to revive some of the most outstanding conference speeches in the history of our sport. Check out ASCA's upcoming events and clinics after the talk. And don't forget to mark your calendars for the World Clinic in Dallas this year. September 6 through 9th.
First up, Doc Counsilman and his famous talk from Montreal IN 1971 entitled, "The X-Factor". Here is an excerpt from his International Swimming Hall of Fame bio -- don't forget to become a monthly donor to ISHOF to preserve our sport's history!
The ‘X’ Factor
Doc sometimes adopted a folksy way of putting his message across. His talk at the ASCA World Clinic in Montreal in 1971 on “The ‘X’ Factor in Coaching” remains a classic. He spoke about a mythical coach, ‘Frank Zilch’ who, hard as he tried to become successful, lacked the ‘X’ factor.’ Doc explained the ‘X’ factor as the ability to recognize the important things in coaching, and to work on them, and to minimize the unimportant.
“The great coach must have two basic abilities – he must be a good organizer and a good psychologist,” said Doc. “The good organizer will have the large team, will attract the good swimmers from other teams, and develop the Mark Spitzs and Gary Halls of the future. The good psychologist will be able to handle the parent problems, get along with the city council, and be able to communicate successfully with the swimmers – he will have the ‘super’ teams.”
“The good coach today needs only an elementary knowledge of conditioning physiology and stroke mechanics. He does not need these to get the job done. However nothing remains static, and in the future these two areas will become more and more important.”

Craig Beardsley is a former World Record holder in the 200 Fly. He qualified for the 1980 Olympics but didn't get to compete due to President Jimmy Carter's boycott.
Beardsley set the World Record of 1:58.21 in the 200- meter butterfly on July 30, 1980, one week after the Olympic Games—a time that was over a second faster than Soviet swimmer Sergey Fesenko‘s gold medal time in the 1980 Olympic finals.
After the United States–led boycott of the Moscow Olympics, Beardsley continued to train. He held both the American and World Records from 1980 to 1983. Swimming World Magazine named Beardsley its American Male Swimmer of the Year in 1981. He was a two-time NCAA champion in the 200 Fly and was an 8x All-American honors while swimming for Randy Reese and the Florida Gators.
After his swimming career was over, Craig got introduced to Swim Across America and has been involved for nearly 3 decades raising money for cancer research.
Craig was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in October of 2022 along with Jon Sieben, another former 200 Fly World Record holder.

Expert answers about recovery from Kim Brackin, Eddie Reese ala Carson Foster, Sergio Lopez, Josh Watson, and Darian Townsend.
One theme that is brought up a few times is how a recovery practice in swimming is also a mental recovery. Sergio Lopez incorporates meditation into his recovery swim practices. Kim Brackin really believes active recovery practices should foster team relationships. Josh Watson is always thoughtful in his answers talking about what recovery practices were like in his heyday while also offering his two cents on what he would expect as swimmer today.

In this episode, Anders talks about his love and passion for swimming and how the sport set him up to become a Hollywood success story.

Mary T. Meagher (now Plant) is a 3x Olympian (1980/1984/1988), 3x Olympic gold medalist (1984), and Bronze medalist (1988) for the United States of America. Madame Butterfly, as she was affectionately nicknamed, took the 100 (57.9) and 200 Butterfly (2.05.9) events to new heights. Mary's World Records stood for 18 & 19 years, respectively!
Her career wasn't all flowers and frosting, though. After setting those World Records, she spent the next 7 years trying to better them. She missed out on competing in the 1980 Moscow Olympics due to the American boycott. And in 1984, didn't get to compete against the best because the Soviets boycotted back.
Mary swam for the likes of Dennis Pursley, Karen Moe, and Bill Peak. She is married to Mike Plant, Olympic speedskater, Vice President of the Atlanta Braves, and 10-term USOC Board Member.

Swimming World Announces Official Partnership With Inside with Brett Hawke Podcast
Today marks an exciting milestone for Swimming World and the International Swimming Hall of Fame, as they announce an official partnership with two-time Australian Olympian Brett Hawke and his highly successful podcast, Inside with Brett Hawke. While Swimming World and Hawke have worked together in the past to promote the sport and its athletes, this partnership will elevate the exposure of the Swimming World brand and Hawke’s podcast, while enhancing the spotlight on the athletes who are the centerpiece of the sport. Since starting the Inside with Brett Hawke Podcast, which can be found here on YouTube, Hawke has provided fans with a window into the sport – past and present. Many of the elite names in swimming have joined the 2000 and 2004 Olympian on his show, including Ian Thorpe, Alexander Popov, Adam Peaty, Kaylee McKeown, Eddie Reese, Grant Hackett, Lilly King and Ariarne Titmus, among others. “Brett’s podcast has been a tremendous addition and asset to the sport,” said John Lohn, the Editor-in-Chief of Swimming World. “No matter the guest, Brett has a knack for exploring interesting areas of the athletes’ careers and pulling out stories that are engaging. His interviewing ability is top-notch and has made this success possible.” Over the summer, Hawke’s podcast was a must-stop location to hear from swimming’s newest star, Romanian teenager David Popovici. As Popovici set a new world record in the 100-meter freestyle and recorded the third-fastest time in history in the 200 freestyle, the teen was a guest with Hawke and discussed several aspects of his rise – from his physical skills to the mentality that has driven his success. More, Hawke welcomed Canadian Summer McIntosh to his podcast, with the teen reviewing her superb summer campaign and targets for the future. “Swimming World will continue to focus on major issues, events, leading figures, and encourage a deeper understanding of the sport we love while upholding journalistic integrity,” said Kyle Mills, Swimming World’s CTO. “We believe this collaboration with Inside with Brett Hawke only strengthens Swimming World’s ability to do that, by enhancing the quality of coverage inside our sport.” In the past, Swimming World has highlighted several of Hawke’s podcasts, and that approach will now transform into a regular process. New Inside with Brett Hawke episodes will be announced on Swimming World and include a link to the fresh content. During its run, the podcast has generated more than three million views and more than 235,000 hours of video consumption. As part of the partnership, Inside with Brett Hawke will promote content from Swimming World and ISHOF campaigns, and help grow awareness of the Swimming World/ISHOF missions. “I’m excited to partner with Swimming World,” Hawke said. “It has always been the leader in the sport’s coverage, and together we look forward to further promoting the premier athletes and their accomplishments.
Jeff Natalizio is the National Coach for Evolution Racing Club in South Orange County, California. He also runs his own business (Zio Fit) training athletes to master longevity and unlock their full potential.
As an athlete, he swam for the University of California. Jeff is clearly a disciple of the late, great Nort Thornton, as you will see and hear in this interview.
In this very interesting conversation, Jeff goes deep in regards to his, "Swimming Basics" lecture and its 3 main focal points: posture, balance, and feel for the water.

Cesar Cielo qualified in 8th place after Semi Finals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In fact, he didn't even think he had made it back to Finals. He had already left the pool.
Cesar says that this is probably the race he likes the most - even more than the 50 Free victory.
Because this is where it all started - his ability to manipulate his own mind. This was his super power, as Brett likes to say.

César Cielo is one of swimming's greatest sprinters of all time. At the 2008 Olympics, he won the 50 Freestyle and scored Bronze in the 100 Free after barely qualifying for the Final.
He didn't lose much after that. César won World titles in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. He won everything there is to win.
At the 2009 World Championships in Rome, César set the World Records in both the 50 and the 100 Freestyles. His 50 record is still intact.

Romanian David Popovici is the fastest human in history over 100 meters freestyle. At the 2022 European Championships in Rome, the 17 year old Popovici blasted a 46.86 in the 100 Freestyle to break Cesar Cielo's long standing world record.
Popovici also dropped the hammer in the 200 Freestyle, becoming the 3rd fastest ever behind Michael Phelps and Paul Biedermann. He broke the 1:43 barrier in that 200 Free.
Pop has been coached by Adrian Rădulescu since he was 9 years old. He has done an amazing job keeping his feet on the ground by leaning into the stoics.

Michael Klim discusses his straight arm freestyle technique and how it came to be.
He talks about a few drills that helped manifest his new, innovative stroke.
Freestyle with a fly kick. Freestyle with a fly kick with head up. Straight arm freestyle. Straight arm freestyle with head up.
"That's another lesson for younger swimmers out there is to just try things in training because you just never know, you might revolutionize swimming or you might invent a stroke that could work for the rest of us better than anything else." - Michael Klim

Michael Klim was ranked #1 in the 200 Freestyle going into the 1996 Olympics. He failed to make the Finals.
Klimy then stopped trying to swim like Alex Popov and began to build his own stroke.
He innovated swimming with his beautiful straight arm freestyle technique and finishing his races with a dolphin kick into the wall.

Katie Ledecky made the move to Gainesville after the Tokyo Olympics. She's not training with Caeleb, per se, but they are in the same pool. Here's what he has picked up from hanging out with her.
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.” ― Steve Jobs

A new fire has erupted inside of Kyle Chalmers. Getting touched out by Caeleb Dressel in the 100 Free at the Tokyo Olympics might just be the best thing for him. If he had won, he most likely would have retired. Instead, he's hungrier than before.
"I know exactly what to expect leading into Paris and I'm a more resilient, stronger, thicker skinned athlete that is completely focused on myself and my own performance rather than anyone else and I'm not going to let anyone or anything get in the way of that." - Kyle Chalmers

If Dan Daly could only prescribe just 1 exercise for you as a swimmer, it would be the pullup, as it is the most swimming specific.
Speaking of pullups...we recently spoke to UNCW Head Coach Bobby Guntoro about his pullup progression. Here is what he does with his athletes...
"We’re doing 16 weeks progression. Main focus is quality 1 pull up at a time, then we shift to add quantity. First 4 weeks just baseline do 8 rounds of either 1 or 2 or 3, once a week. Then we go to 2x a week, adding quantity by 5-10% each week. Very individualize progression."

Emily Seebohm has been on the Australian National Team for 15 years. She's competed in 4 consecutive Olympics and has 7 Olympic medals in her collection (3 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze).
Most recently, in Tokyo, she nabbed a Bronze medal in the 200 Backstroke. She won silver at the 2008 Games in the 100 Back and has 3 gold medals as part of Australian relays. Most swimmers don't evolve from the 100 to the 200 but she says she's a sucker for the pain of practice.
Emily swims under Michael Bohl (Ep.176) and 2x Olympic backstroke champion, Kaylee McKeown (Ep. 239), is her new training partner.

We watched Matt Sates destroy the final 100 in 47.85 to take the 500 Free title in 406.6. Leon Marchand became the first man ever to break 1:38 in the 200 IM, breaking Caeleb Dressel's NCAA record. And, Brooks Curry used his mullet and nose plug to steal the 50 Free championship away from Bjorn Seeliger (who led off the 200 Free Relay 30 minutes later in 18.2).

Australian Kaylee McKeown is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100 and 200 Backstrokes. She is the fastest in history in the 100 LCM Back, 57.45. Last month she dropped 58.3/2:04.6 at Victorian Open Champs.
Seeded first going into Tokyo, she pulled out of the 200 IM to focus on her backstroke swims. Kaylee recently made the move to Griffith University to swim with legendary swim coach Michael Bohl where IM is now a major focus. She just learned how to do the back-to-breast crossover turn.
This is a technical heavy episode with Kaylee talking about her backstroke catch, training for the 200 Backstroke, how she develops her mental game, how she holds water on her kick, and more.

Keri-anne Payne is a 3x British Olympian. At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, she won the silver medal in the 10k. She went on to win back-to-back World Championships in 2009 and 2010 in the same event.
Defending her Olympic title at her home Olympics in 2012, Keri-anne made a rookie mistake and wound up touching 4th by just a few fractions of a second. While devastating, it is also the swim that she hears the most about from fans.
"I started swimming open water because I watched you in that race."
It's the race she is the most proud of.
Keri-anne is the Founder of Triscape (personalized open water escapes and adventures) and Straight Line Swimming (online open water swim coaching qualification).

How did Arizona State's Leon Marchand win the 400 IM (3:34.4!) and then split 41.1 on the back of the 4x100 Medley Relay?!?
Coach David Marsh with some analysis after watching Leon clean up at Pac-12's:
"Coaches and young kids need to understand this....it's not a joke when we say that underwater kicking is the 2nd fastest way to swim. It may be the first fastest if you're kicking as fast as him!"
"The 400 IM, I got that he's staying underwater for about a minute and 40 seconds."
"He's traveling fast while staying under water."
"...he is a FLOW guy...has an amazing relationship with the water..."
"...all I can tell you is that a lot of it is underwater..."

Brett, Sonny, and Nate talk about swimming.
FINA has cancelled World Jrs in Kazan. Also, they took back the award they gave Putin back in 2014. Canada, Australia, and Scandinavia have all backed out of any meet in Belarus or Russia. Russian swimmers are allowed to compete but not under the Russian flag.
The International Swimmers Alliance (ISA) has called for Fina & the ISL to meet to discuss a global swimming calendar because the current situation is unsustainable. Aly Tetzloff went off on the ISL on Instagram after saying they will not be able to make payments due to the war in Ukraine. April 3rd marks the beginning of Free Agency/Rookies and the 2nd ISL Draft will be held on April 23, 2022.
Pac 12's for the Men start today. Lia Thomas has been cleared to swim at Women's NCAA's and is opting to do the 100 Free instead of the 1650. Minnesota's Max McHugh is swimming coming back for a 5th year. Regan Smith trying to pull off a Brendan Burns at NCAA's choosing the 2 Back/2 Fly crazy person double. Women's NCAA's are March 16-19 and the Men are the 23-26 both in Atlanta. NCAA Relays are Timed Finals.

American Clark Smith is an Olympic gold medalist (Men's 4x200 Free Relay, 2016 Rio Olympics) and soon to be United States Marine.
Even though he grew up in Denver, Clark was destined for Texas. His Dad swam at Texas. His Mom swam at Texas (and got 5th in the 200 Back for Team USA in the '84 Olympics).
His college career was a bit crazy. As a Freshman, he didn't even qualify for NCAA's. The following year, he won the 500 Free at NCAA's. He didn't get a 2nd swim his Junior year but as a Senior was part of what some call the greatest race in NCAA history: the 1650 Freestyle. Which, he won in American Record time.
As a clinician for Fitter & Faster, he is regarded as one of the best, consistently receiving high praise from parent reviews. He is headed to Officer Candidate School (OCS) to serve in the United States Marine Corp.

Sprint coach Herbie Behm: you only need 6-8 x 50's in practice to train for the 100 yard freestyle.
In this clip, Coach Behm reveals some of his favorite sprint swimming sets and how his main 50's set has evolved over time.
Also some interesting insight into Ryan Held's efficiency not allowing him to take a 2nd breath and what he learned from that experience in the 100 Free at SC World Championships.

Duncan Scott is a 6x Olympic medalist from Scotland. He is arguably the greatest overall swimmer in the world right now. At the Tokyo Olympics he captured silver in both the 200 Free and 200 IM. He trains at the University of Stirling with Steven Tigg, who we had on last week.
Notably, at the 2019 World Championships, he split 46.14 at the end of the 4x100 Free Relay, 2nd fastest ever behind Jason Lezak's 46.06. In this episode, Brett lobbies for Dunks to swim the 100 Free in Paris.

Michael Andrew is back. This time, with an Olympic gold medal and World Record representing the stars and stripes. Brett and MA break down each of his 3 individual swims at the Tokyo Olympics and dive face first into being vilified and targeted for being unvaccinated.
Remember when Christine Brennan called him a bad, selfish teammate in USA Today? How about when Maya DiRado threw him under the bus on Twitter two days before the start of the Olympics? Would you believe a USA Swimming team manager followed him into the ready room at the Olympics before the Final of the Men's 50 Freestyle?
How about USA Swimming asking him to leave Short Course World Championships in Abu Dhabi?

Chuck Destro is the owner of Destro Machines. He created the Destro Swim Tower and other bucket system innovations.
“I graduated from Purdue University in 2014 as a mechanical engineer and swimmer. Afterwards, I spent several years as a machine designer in automotive and manufacturing facilities. What I learned is that making an athlete is a lot like making a machine. When we build a machine, we use exact measurements, designs, plans, schedules, and conduct trials. After each revision, we quantify performance and make the appropriate changes until we have the perfect performance. This is how swimmers should be training, but we don’t yet have the technology available to train this effectively. I founded Destro Machines so that I could develop the tools our sport needs to escape the dark ages of training. It is our promise to develop the best training technology that the swimming world has ever seen. Machines aren’t just what we make, Machines are who we make.” ― Chuck Destro, Co-Founder

"There was a section on breaststroke which I think if you coach, or if you know somebody that coaches, or if you know somebody that knows somebody that coaches, have them listen to Dave Salo for 15 minutes talk about breaststroke because I think there is just a lot of really, really good stuff that literally any coach can emulate in terms of just communicating about the stroke. He's got good words that he says about breaststroke and you can take those words and you can use them in your practice and it would probably help you." - Chris DeSantis on The Swim Brief Podcast

Hungarian László Cseh is one of the most decorated swimmers in the history of our sport: six (6) Olympic medals, seventeen (17) World Championship medals, and forty-eight (48) European Championship medals.
Michael Phelps was his kryptonite. Cseh finished 2nd behind him in 3 events at the 2008 Olympics, earning 3 silver medals in the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 Fly.
In 2014, after a coaching change from György Turi to Zsolt Plagányi, his focus shifted to shorter events.

Coleman Stewart is a professional swimmer for the Cali Condors. He grew up in York, PA swimming for Erik Posegay at North Baltimore Aquatic Club. He developed his underwater kick at NC State with Braden Holloway and became NCAA Champion in the 100 Backstroke.
Most recently, he broke the World Record in the 100 SCM Backstroke in a regular season ISL meet in Naples, Italy. His goal was to show up in better shape than most and win a lot of money.
His freestyle is pretty good, too. Coleman finished 8th in the 100 Free at US Olympic Trials.
And, of course, his mustache game is strong.

At the 2012 London Olympics, Tyler Clary won the 200 Backstroke.
Nine years later, he underwent successful open heart surgery to fix a leaky aortic valve. For every pint of blood his heart tried to pump, ½ a pint flowed backwards.
He won Olympic gold with a heart operating at only 70% efficiency.
Unbelievable.
Enjoy!

Tom Shields is the 2009 Huntington Beach Pier Swim Champion. Also, a 2x Olympic Champion for the United States of America.
He joins us LIVE from Budapest to talk about breaking the American Record in the Men's 50 Fly this past week at the FINA World Cup Series. This was a best time for him by a few tenths.
We talk about training underwater, being addicted to racing, his love for short course, and being left off of several SC World Championship teams based on LCM qualifications. Coleman Stewart, the fastest man in human history in the 100 SCM Backstroke, will not be competing for Team USA at World Championships. Neither will Beata Nelson, the current ISL Season 3 money leader.
Enjoy.

Brenton Rickard is the 2008 Olympic silver medalist in the Men's 200 Breaststroke. He picked up a second silver in the Men's 4x100 Medley Relay. A year later, in Rome, Rickard became World Champion and WORLD RECORD holder the 100 Breast posting a 58.58.
Brett and Brenton reminisce about swimming fast, competing in the strongest breaststroke era ever, his competitors, coaches and more.
Recently, the International Olympic Committee dropped doping charges against him. Charges stemming from a re-test of samples going back to the 2012 London Olympics. It cost him more than $50,000 to defend his reputation but, according to him, was totally worth it.

His sister, Susan, was also a pretty good swimmer. She married Ron McKeon (who swam in 80 & 84) and they had three children: Kaitlin, David, and Emma McKeon. Emma, of course, just became the most decorated Australian Olympian ever with her performance in Tokyo.
Rob is a super successful business man and sports agent. He sold his agency to TLA and still manages superstars including Adam Peaty.
For the last three years he has been the General Manager of the London Roar.

Michael Bohl is a 5x Olympic swim coach for Australia. He is the coach of Emma McKeon and Emily Seebohm at Griffith University in Brisbane. At the Tokyo Olympics, Emma McKeon won a record 7 Olympic medals, making her the most decorated female swimmer in history at a single Games.
Emily Seebohm, who many had written off at the age of 27, touched 3rd in the Women's 200 Backstroke to claim a bronze medal.
Coach Michael Bohl spent 14 years at St. Peters, before leaving for GU in 2017. He left St. Peters in the hands of his Juniors coach, the ultimate warrior himself, Dean Boxall. Clyde Lewis, Jack Cartwright, and Ariarne Titmus all came through this program.
Brett digs deep to find out how you get a woman to go 51 in a 100 Freestyle. He also gets an update on his former pupil, Cody Simpson, who is now swimming under Bohly.
Bohly, as most people call him, also talks about his former swimmer and long time colleague, Dean Boxall.
"He's a 10 out of 10 communicator." - Michael Bohl on Dean Boxall

It took Australia 48 years to win the Women's 100 Free....now they dominate the event. What has changed since Jodie Henry in the Women's 100 Free?
Shannon shares his training philosophies on pulling, kicking, and more. He also discusses the importance of long, uninterrupted training blocks vs. racing.

Austin Surhoff is a professional swimmer (and current free agent) training to make the International Swimming League. He won the 200 IM at NCAA Championships back in 2010 while swimming at the University of Texas. He grew up swimming for Bob Bowman at NBAC and would ultimately return to swim alongside Michael Phelps and Chase Kalisz to train for the 2016 Rio Games, placing 8th in the 200 IM.
Fast forward to 2021, he just finished 21st and 29th in the 50 and 100 Freestyles, respectively, at US Olympic Trials. Best times for him. He's gone from being a 200 IMer/Backstroker/Freestyler to a 22.5 50 Freestyler. He talks about how he trains now, taking a little bit of everything from everyone that he has worked with along the way. He has coached at Johns Hopkins and as a volunteer with UVA and Todd DeSorbo.
Austin discusses the culture at Texas under Eddie Reese and Kris Kubick, as well as potential successor, Wyatt Collins. He dives into what it was like to train with the GOAT for two years leading up to 2016. And, overcoming some mental health struggles along the way.

Giaan Rooney is a 2x Olympic swimmer for Australia (2000, 2004) who captured a Gold and two Silvers medals. Giaan loved racing and at one point in time, loved training. Her love-hate relationship with swimming is highlighted by the fact that she has not taken a stroke since her retirement.
At 15, she erupted onto the scene by winning the 100 Back at the Commonwealth Games. She was driven by the confidence that her workload gave her. She went on to be a vital part of Australia's silver medal winning 4x100 Medley Relay and 4x200 Free Relays in front of the home crowed at the 2000 Olympic Games. A year later, she was crowned the 200 Free World Champion in Fukuoka, Japan.
Just 12 months later, after a disappointing Commonwealth Games, she was ready to hang it up. Instead, she made the move from Miami to Melbourne where she ended up training under Ian Pope along side Grant Hackett, Daniel Kowalski, Brett, and many others.
A television personality, broadcaster and commentator, you may have just heard her on Amazon Prime during the Australian Olympic Trials.
Enjoy!

Andrew Lauterstein won the Bronze medal in the 100 Fly at the 2008 Beijing Olympics touching out Ian Crocker by just .01 of a second. He was a 21 year old Aussie with no expectations.
"You know that race that Michael Phelps didn't look like he won but he won? Well I got 3rd in that one." - Andrew Lauterstein
Lauterstein was a superb high school backstroker. At Australian Olympic Trials in 2004 he placed 3rd in the 100 Back. A year later he made the Australian World Champs Team. He was coached by Glenn Baker from age 11 to 21.
Today Andy is a very busy man. He runs Engine Swim with another Australian Olympic Bronze medalist in Toby Haenen, has a swim school, and just took over Mentone Aquatic.

Tucker Dupree is a 3x Paralympian (2008, 2012, 2016) and 4-time Paralympic medalist (1 Silver & 3 Bronze) in 3 different events (50 Free, 100 Free, and 100 Back).
When Tucker was a senior in high school, he was diagnosed with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare disease that, in the span of just a few months, took 80% of his vision away.
Prior to his diagnosis, he didn't really know what the Paralympics was all about or how it worked.
Tucker is a World Champion, a highly regarded clinician with Fitter & Faster, and BP's new Community Management Advisor.

Josh Watson is a former Australian backstroker who placed 4th in the 100 Back at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He became the 200 Backstroke Short Course World Champion at the 1999 Hong Kong World Championships.
Josh is the self proclaimed poster boy for someone who just can't hang up their swimsuit. He called it quits, and came back more than once. His transition from being an elite athlete to not being an elite athlete took a toll on him including his first marriage. Josh had to come to grips with who he is -- and an elite athlete is just one part of him.
He currently resides in Atlanta, GA working for Atomic Athletes. Josh has also started his own business helping athletes transition into life after sport.

Kim Vandenberg won an Olympic bronze medal as part of Team USA's 4x200 Free Relay at the 2008 Games in Beijing. She qualified and swam at 5 straight US Olympic Trials, capturing the dreaded 3rd place in the 200 Fly 2 times.
Kim is a mentor for Rise Athletes, a Fitter & Faster coach, a serious Yogi, world traveler, and small business owner. On top of all that, she is a graduate student studying Psychology at Pepperdine University with aspirations of receiving her doctorate and opening up her own practice in the future.
She once won French Nationals and believes the 200 Free is way harder than the 200 Fly.

Arthur Albiero has been the Head Coach of the Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving Teams at the University of Louisville since 2003. When he took the job, the men's team had half of a scholarship. The pool was in a basement. The team had no culture of winning. Fast forward 18 years and all that has been turned around.
Born and raised in Brazil, Coach Albiero has an amazing swimming story. At 12 years old he got the opportunity to attend Don Gambril's swim camp at the University of Alabama. He walked on at Cal State Bakersfield, swimming for the legendary Ernie Maglischo. His first job coaching was at Kenyon College under Hall of Fame Coach Jim Steen.
Arthur has had major success at U of L, recently winning the Men's ACC Championship by just 2 points. According to Coach Albiero, those two points were years in the making.
He was named to Team USA's coaching staff for the 2016 Rio Olympics and served as Head Coach for Pan Pacs in 2018.
Up next: Tokyo.

Zach Apple is one of Team USA's premier 50/100/200 Freestylers. He won the 100 and 200 Free at the World University Games in 2019 and was part of Team USA's World Champion 4x100 Free Relay in Gwangju that same year.
Corona came. Zach didn't touch the water for 3 months. Then he ripped a 48.5 in practice after just 2.5 months of doing singles.
Zach's story is very much about being a late bloomer -- not realizing tech suits were a thing until he was 16 years old...

Chris Fydler is a 20x Australian National Champion, 3x Olympian, and Olympic Champion. He was one of the four Australians strumming guitars after beating Team USA's 4x100 Free Relay at the 2000 Sydney Games. That victory, in front of the home crowd, snapped 36 years of American dominance in the event. The same relay that Ian Thorpe nearly missed because he ripped two suits...
Currently, Chris is the Managing Director of Sydney based software company, Tambla. He also serves as President on the Board of Directors of New South Wales Swimming.

Eric Shanteau is a 2x Olympian, World Champion swimmer, and cancer destroyer. He also holds the American Record for Most Times Getting 3rd at US Olympic Trials (5x) as well as the AR for Most Events Getting 3rd at OT's (4 events; 200 IM, 400 IM, 100 Breast, 200 Breast).
Shanteau grew up swimming for Swim Atlanta and Chris Davis and was one of the four Auburn Tigers (George Bovell (Episode #111), Doug Van Wie, and Kurt Cady) that went 32-4-4 in their NCAA swimming career. That's 32 dual meet wins (and 0 losses), 4 SEC Championships, and 4 NCAA Titles -- completely undefeated.
In the mid-2000's, while Shanteau grew into one of the world's best IM'ers, so did two other young Americans. Just so happens they turned out to be the two most decorated swimmers ever: Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte.
At the 2004 Olympic Trials, Shanteau placed 3rd behind Phelps and Lochte. He also placed 3rd in the 400 IM behind Phelps and Erik Vendt.
The same thing happened at the 2008 Olympic Trials: 3rd in the 200 IM behind Phelps and Lochte. 3rd in the 100 Breast.
Finally, his opportunity came in the 200 Breast, qualifying for his first Olympics in 2008. Prior to the Games, Shanteau was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He opted to swim before going under the knife.
Shanteau popped off at World Championships in 2009. The famous Rome meet. He won a Bronze medal in the 200 IM and a Silver in the 200 Breast which was an American Record of 2:07.42.
In 2012, he qualified 2nd behind Brendan Hansen in the 100 Breast which led him to win an Olympic gold medal in the 400 Medley Relay by swimming on the morning relay. Also, at the 2012 Olympic Trials, he got -- you guessed it -- 3rd yet again -- this time in the 200 Breast.
Shanteau married another Auburn All-American, Jeri Moss.

Last week Ben Fisher, a UC Santa Barbara Swimming alum, penned an open letter to Klete Keller that was shared on both Swimming World Magazine and Swim Swam.
"You will have your day in court. But you will also have your opportunity for redemption. Perhaps your story can be the catalyst for a real conversation on the criticality of developing the next generation of swimmers into more resilient, well-rounded individuals." - Ben Fisher
Brett and Ben sit down to talk about why he wrote this letter, what he hopes it can achieve, and struggling mentally after swimming is over.
"I would also ask that the general public, the swimming community and your own friends and family allow justice to take its course but to not play judge and jury. There is a tremendously rich opportunity here if we avoid placing Klete on a shame island and realize we have work to do to heal and prepare for a better future. We must do better to support one another and help us all develop into a more compassionate, more well-rounded community." - Ben Fisher

Michael Andrew set over 100 NAG Records as an age group swimmer. He turned pro at just 14 years old and won his first World Championship in the 100 IM at 17.
His method of training, Ultra Short Race Pace Training (USRPT), has been a bit controversial in the swimming world. Controversial in the sense that the old regime turned their noses up to it because it was the opposite of the archaic method of shoveling yardage down age groupers throats.
In this episode Brett asks Michael...
if he's ever thought of changing coaches
his thoughts on the Swim Swam comments section
what events he is focusing on for US Olympic Trials
what its like being an owner of the New York Breakers
how exactly he trains using pure USRPT and currently, 3 practices a day
the Michael Andrew Academy, sign up today!
And much, much more!

Bob Groseth has been coaching for longer than Brett has been alive. He, in fact, started his swimming education under Doc Counsilman, as the manager of Indiana University's swim team in the mid 1960's. He went on to coach at Cincinnati, Tulane, Iowa State, and Northwestern. Bob is currently based in Evanston, Illinois working on a project with the Chicago Park District.
Grew up swimming in Hinsdale, Illinois.
Who was Doc Counsilman to you? "Being on deck with him was like going to a seminar every day." - Bob Groseth
A Master Class on Drag and Resistance.
"Remember, we also use drag for thrust." - Bob Groseth
How did the shiny suits help us in terms of drag? And ultimately how'd that help move swimming forward?

Tyler swam for or was recruited by Dave Durden. David Marsh. Brian Burns. Richard Quick. and Brett Hawke, just to name a few.
What did you learn from Richard Quick? Two stories/lessons he learned.

Chuck Batchelor is the Head Coach of the Bluefish Swim Team in Massachusetts. Bluefish is known for producing top level 400 IMers; most notably, Olympic silver medalist, Elizabeth Beisel.
Coach Chuck is easy to spot on pool deck, as seen in pictures from Rafael Domeyko in this episode's artwork. When a Bluefish swimmer is in the water, donning his Crocs, he walks up and down pool deck cheering them on. As you can probably tell, Coach Chuck is fun to be around.
In this episode Chuck and Brett think differently about training volume, the characteristics of a great 400 IMer, and the fart machine that brought him and Elizabeth closer together.

Bob Bowman is the Head Coach of Arizona State University's Swimming & Diving Team. Coach Bowman served as Team USA's Head Olympic Swimming Coach for the 2016 Rio Games. And, as you already know, coached the greatest Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps, throughout his entire illustrious career. Now, in retirement, Michael cooks Bob dinner several nights a week while he gets to play with the kids.
Brett and Bob begin with corona virus and Coach Bowman's decision to redshirt his entire team.
Several years ago Bob gave a speech entitled, "The Characteristics of Champions". In this episode, Brett turns the tables to find out how these characteristics relate to him, Bob Bowman, as a champion swim coach.
"How do I become the next Bob Bowman?" - Brett Hawke
Brett and Bob go through each of his champion characteristics:
Champions have a clear plan for success in achieving their goals.
Champions produce normal and predictable performances in very abnormal and unpredictable environments.
Champions rehearse success on a daily basis -- physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Champions value the process of success more than any particular outcome.
Champions have a dream.
Champions have a passion for pursuing their vision of success that will overcome obstacles, get them through the tough times, and carry them to spectacular performances throughout their career.

Jodie Henry is a 3x Olympic Champion. She won the 100 Free at the 2004 Athens Olympics and was part of both of Australia's winning relays (4x100 Free and Medley). She was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 2015.
She learned how to swim at a young age and just progressed from there. It got serious at Chandler Swimming Club. Eventually moved to be coached with Shannon Rollason and his brother, Nathan.
In 2000, at just 16 years old, missed making the Sydney Olympic team by just .02. Instead, got to enjoy a home Olympics, learn and watch.
Jodie suggests so much of her swimming memories are all melted together.
Being a very anxious person and being able to shut it down behind the blocks. Shannon gave her a specific plan to wave and smile.
2003 World Championships in Barcelona.
Breaking the 100 Free World Record in Semi Finals at the 2004 Athens Olympics . She went 53.52. Shannon calms her down, gets her mind right to prepare to go out and race and win. She really pulled away from the field over the last 25 meters.
Training back end speed.
Jodie Henry's Favorite Swim Set:
4x
8x50's @ :35 holding :30 or under
1x200 recovery
She did this set all the time by herself!
The Relays.
Her relationship with Alice Mills (now Tait) and Libby Lenton (now Trickett). At one point in time the 3 fastest girls in the world in the 100 Free were all in Brisbane.
Training like a sprinter.
Jodie has 3 children. They all swim. Her husband won a couple AFL Championships.

Fred Bousquet was the first man to break 19 in the 50 SCY Free as well as the first man to break 21 in the 50 LCM Free. He was, without a doubt, one of the greatest relay swimmers in the history of the sport. While the individual Olympic medal fell just outside his grasp, he was the epitome of a team player. He swam for his team and for his country, not for himself.
Brett and Fred begin the conversation with breaking the 19 second barrier in the 50 Free at NCAA's.
Fred swam 3rd on the 4x100 Free Relay at the Beijing Olympics, giving Alain Bernard .8 tenths of a second lead over Jason Lezak and Team USA. We did a mash up of Lezak (Episode #087) and Fred about the greatest relay of all time. You can watch it here.
Brett and Fred have a long, personal history of working together. They talk about the good times and the bad. Brett is open and vulnerable to criticism.
They discuss the 20.94 performance at French Championships.
Brett describes Fred as having the most beautiful freestyle there ever was. Nobody created power and and speed quite like him.

Jason Lezak got kicked off the UCSB swim team in the middle of his Junior year. A decade later he split 46.0 on the back of Team USA's 4x100 Free Relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics to reel in France's Alain Bernard. It is the Olympic performance of all Olympic performances. The swim of all swims. His last name literally become a verb. Jason is now the GM of the Cali Condors.
Brett and Jason talk about...
How were you so consistent both domestically and internationally for such a long period of time?
Why did you go to UC Santa Barbara? Didn't make NCAA's as a Sophomore, got kicked off the team, and then made Finals as a Junior. Big progression in a short time. Starting doing all the little things right. Sleeping. Eating.
SYDNEY
Getting beat by the Australians in 2000 in the 4x100 Free Relay and receiving a Silver medal. What regrets do you have on that relay? Def over swam the first 25.
ATHENS
What was Athens like for you?
"I was looking at that relay for 4 years and all I wanted to do was like I said get on that podium and hear the National Anthem and this time we got the Bronze medal to start the Olympics..." - Jason Lezak
Taking it too easy in Prelims and getting 21st in the 100 Free. Swam in the Finals of the 50 Free with Brett. He was in Lane 3, Roland Schoeman was in Lane 4 as top seed, and Brett was in Lane 5.
Finishing Athens strong with a Gold medal 4x100 Medley Relay.
Gary walking out in the silk robe. What's your recollection from that race?
You had some tension with Gary Hall Jr. didn't you? Tell me about that. Team USA's 4x100 Free Relay from 1999-2004 just couldn't come together.
BEIJING
Broke the AR at OT's in the 100 Free. Had anchored the relays for years, was very prepared.
Brett was coaching Fred Bousquet at the time. Gives his perspective.
Jason thought he false started. Did you get in the zone? Were you on auto pilot?
How did you stay in the game for so long? Nathan Adrian over taking Jason as the top American. Cesar Cielo.
"People were telling me to retire after every Olympics." - Jason Lezak
Coaching himself starting in 2006. He swam until he was 36.
Being the GM of the Cali Condors. Australians have pulled out. What's up? Is the ISL sustainable?
And more!

William & Mary is considered one of the most prestigious academic schools in the country. You may have heard of some of their famous alumni...
Thomas Jefferson. James Monroe. John Tyler.
America's brightest swimmers don't go to W&M for the scholarships because there are none.
And they certainly don't go for the facilities -- the pool is not worthy of the accomplishments that Tribe Swimming has achieved.
They attend W&M because the people that go to W&M are a special kind of people. One could say they are from the same Tribe...

Jonty Skinner didn't get to swim at the 1976 Olympics because South Africa was banned. But a few weeks after the Olympics ended, he broke Jim Montgomery's world record in the 100 Free by over half a second.
Jonty left South Africa to swim for the University of Alabama where he was an NCAA Champion under Don Gambril. Over the next decades he would have several coaching stints at Bama as well as time spent with USA Swimming as the National Team Head Coach and Director of Performance Science and Technology. He was inducted into the ASCA Hall of Fame in 2017.
If you've never been to Alabama before...nothing is more important than War Eagle vs. Roll Tide.
The former rival coaches in the great state of Alabama discuss...
In 1976, you were not allowed to compete at the Olympics. How'd that feel? South Africa had been banned since 1964.
"It didn't bother me that much...I knew growing up it wasn't going to happen." - Jonty Skinner
Don Gambril told me I needed a year to adapt to the training. "I was a 2."
Being relieved after breaking the world record. What helped me remember was listening to Mel Stewart interview BJ Bedford.
Finding each athlete's motivation. Improving each athlete on a holistic level. Really get to know them.
Creating a seasonal plan and understanding what goes into that. One of the best pieces of advice Brett got as a young coach from David Marsh.
When does the book come out?! Maybe next summer.
Zane Waddell calls Jonty a wizard. How do you get wizard status?
What are the must haves, the must dos for a swim coach?
understand them as a person
study them as a swimmer
educate them about the sport of swimming
I love speed and I love freestyle: so how do we get faster? Can we go 20.0 and 46.0 in the 50 and 100?
The evolution of freestyle. Stuck in high elbow. Tech suits came around and blew that out of the water.
Caeleb Dressel.
How do you coach an athlete to believe they can beat the unbeatable?
Never met Nick Saban.

Kyle Chalmers is a massive Kevin Durant fan. He is also the reigning Olympic Champion in the Men's 100 Free. He was just 18 years old at the Rio Olympics. How'd he do it? What was it like to become a national icon in 47 seconds?
The two Australian sprinters discuss...
The media and how Chalmers keeps to himself. Purposefully doesn't pay attention to much of anything in the media.
How'd you pop up at 18 years old and win the 100 Free?
Explaining what the Olympic Village was like. Taking a selfie with Michael Phelps and loads of NBA stars.
How'd you not get caught up in the experience?
Massive Kevin Durant fan. Listens to his MVP speech every day.
How'd you win gold? Laid back country boy from a town of 15,000. "Staying relaxed..."
Are you a freak of nature?
Only began fully training in 2015.
Did beach swims by himself 2x a week on top of the 8-9 sessions with Coach Peter Bishop leading up to Rio.
47 seconds and you become a national icon. It's quite overwhelming and can fog your mind.
In the lead up to Rio and can close the 100 Free better than anyone so how are you training? "I train like a 200 Freestyler."
Kyle Chalmers favorite swim practice are aerobic.
3 or 4x
800 aerobic
4x50's at 100 pace @ 1:00
Confidence in coming home.
"That's the fastest anyone has ever come home!"
He breaks down the 100 Free Semi Finals against Nathan Adrian and the Final with Santo Condorelli a body length and half in front of him at the 50.
"There's nothing more satisfying than swimming over the top of these guys and you know seeing yourself catch them." - Kyle Chalmers
Keeping the same stroke rate throughout the 100.
"This is my race and no one can take it from me." - Kyle Chalmers
Talk to me about the ready room. The marshaling room. Kyle doesn't listen to music and is pretty chatty.
"Nathan Adrian is one of the greatest guys out there."
Is there another Kyle Chalmers looming for Tokyo?
100 Free Chalmers vs. Dressel at World Championships in 2019
How do you beat Caeleb Dressel? Get better at what he beats me at: off the blocks and underwater.
"You gotta have that belief in yourself that you're there to win. If I didn't have that belief I wouldn't be racing or swimming. I'm not going to a competition to get 2nd or to swim a PB. I'm going there to succeed."
Dad was an AFL player so he grew up in a household that understood what it meant to be a pro athlete.
What do you need to go to win next year?

Coach Mark Bernardino's teams at UVA captured 27 ACC titles. At South Carolina, six of his swimmers won individual events at SEC's. Now at NC State, the women are sweeping the podium in the 400 IM at ACC's.
No matter where he goes, swimming fast is sure to follow. But it's not just about physical toughness.
Brett and Coach Bernardino's main discussion revolves around this:
"What's it take to find that next gear in our sport? And I think that next gear comes from the mental perspective." - Mark Bernardino
What kind of mental training did you learn?
Dr. Bob Rotella, Sports Psychology became the golf guru and worked with Ed Moses and Mark at UVA.
"A relaxed athlete will be a better athlete."
Physical and Mental Relaxation.
Performing in a relaxed state. A positive mental state. Without stress. Without anxiety.
What do you believe in? What do you want to stand for as a coach?
Early in the season I explain to my team about failure but there will be a break through moment.
I like to do sets that build upon themselves.
How do you get the most out of your team? We test them.
If you're an A Finalist at SEC's, you're knocking on the door to scoring at NCAA Championships.
"Every dual meet is like taking a quiz. It's a test." - Mark Bernardino
Matt Targett. He went to swim for Dino at UVA and transferred to swim for Auburn.
Absolute belief from both swimmer and coach is a key ingredient in success.
The coach-athlete chemistry is critical to success.
Why do athletes believe a certain athlete is unbelievable? Are you afraid of Caeleb Dressel? Changing in the locker room with Mark Spitz at NCAA's.
Helping kids to think positively. Your non-verbal communication skills are important. You need to be cognizant of how you communicate non-verbally when speaking to your swimmers.
Letting your swimmers write a workout.
What are ya'll doing unique at NC State? 36 hour recovery period in the middle of the week.

Susie O'Neill is one of Australia's most successful Olympians. Madame Butterfly won a Bronze (Barcelona), Gold (Atlanta), and Silver (Sydney) over 3 Olympics in the 200 Fly. She also won the 200 Free in Sydney -- a race that can be a bit overshadowed in a career filled with big races. She stood on the podium at 3 different Olympics 8 separate times.
Nowadays you can hear her on the radio with Ash, Kip, & Luttsy.

Still waking up at 4 AM to go to swim training. She just loves being in the water.
How she made international news a few months ago after publicly watching the 200 Fly Final and breaking down with emotion in tears.
Swimming with Mr. Wakefield.
When did swimming stop being fun?
Originally was a backstroker. In 1988 she switched to butterfly. She was 14 years old.
"I always wanted to be a sprinter..just like everyone." - Susie O'Neill
Mr. Wakefield sat me down and told me I had a chance to make the Australian Team in the 200 Fly and that's when I swam my first 200 Fly.
Having panic attacks as a young swimmer.
Barcelona 1992 Olympics: looking around in the 200 Fly.
Deciding to change coaches. Telling Mr. Wakefield.
Scott Volkers.
Never swam any long distance butterfly in practice. The focus was to never let her stroke technique get bad. Longer butterfly sets were always done with short fins.
Was a tremendous trainer.
2:05.91 the only time she can still remember.
Breaking the World Record at Australian Trials. 2:05.81
Misty Hyman.
Winning the 200 Free in Sydney and not quite getting to enjoy the moment.\

Jackson Leonard swam for Coach Troy at the University of Florida but not for long. After his Freshman year he hung up his suit for coaching and worked for the team as one of the team managers.
Jackson was given Coach Chuck Warner and Dana Abbot's book about Coach Eddie Reese which sparked his interest in writing a book about Coach Gregg Troy...
PRE-ORDER NOW ON AMAZON -- BOOK COMES OUT AUGUST 24th
"Gregg Troy: It's Never Easy. Leadership, Swimming, and the Value of Challenging Work"
Friday Flyday.
If you've got a stable of distance swimmers, you need to be a great distance coach. If you've got a stable of sprinters, you need to be a great sprint coach.
Learning from watching -- especially Alexander Popov and Gennadi Touretski.
What do people not know about Ryan Lochte & Caeleb Dressel? When Lochte walks out as part of an 800 Free Relay he's always the shortest. When Dressel walks out as part of a 400 Free Relay, he's always the shortest. They can both dunk a basketball. They both make practice more challenging.
What happened in 2017? Why the blip in performance from Caeleb?
Brett thanks Gregg for all he has done for the sport and being a fierce competitor at his time at Auburn.
Are the Olympics going to happen? Can Lochte get back to the Olympics? Can Dressel execute under the pressure in all these events?

His new role at USA Swimming as the Director of Community Development.
The 1980 experience in relationship to today's COVID-19 landscape. "Acceptance and motivation."
8 long years.
Providing perspective to Caeleb Dressel, David Marsh, and the Indiana pros.
5 years at Auburn.
Working as a night clerk at a hotel in Austin, Texas.
Winning 3 gold medals in 1984. "I really wasn't that good in 1984." Got 7th in the 200. Was super lucky to even make the team individually as he barely came 2nd in the 100 at Trials. "I deserve to be in this moment because I worked my butt off."
We all have this moment. Jason Lezak.
Turning your brain off for that moment. Breaking down the 100 Freestyle.
Retiring after 1984 Olympics. Swimming Masters. Qualifying for 88 Trials. Going to OT's with David Marsh.
"How do you think those 3 golds changed your life?" - Brett
1984 had some special athletes. America was waiting 8 years for these performances and athletes.
Developing himself into a long lasting commentator. Commentating 32 NCAA Championships and soon to be 8th Olympics and the differences between the two. His top gift is passion.
"When everyone hates me it's perfect!" - Rowdy on talking about Auburn too much AND too little.
Talk to me about Richard Quick. "Could not have done it without him."

What makes a champion?
What is it like being a World Champion at 15 years old?
The level of expectation and pressure leading into the Sydney Olympics. Breaking his ankle 12 months out.
Being accused of doping by Germany's Head Coach and then destroying the 200 Free World Record by over a second. This took place at the FINA World Cup Berlin stop in 2000.
Losing the 200 Free to Pieter van den Hoogenband in Sydney.
The theory behind Doug Frost's training program. "Flog the athlete."
3000 for time. 30:46 or 30:16? Followed by 30x100's heart rate set.
"I owned being World Champion."
The full length, custom black suit made out of lycra.
Adidas.
Ripping multiple suits right before the 4x100 Free Relay. Klim breaking the World Record on the lead off. Catching Gary Hall Jr.
Having international pop-star status. Specifically in Japan. Turning down a record deal.
Craig Stevens giving up his 400 Free spot in Athens "because of what it does for the team."
The Swimming Race of the Century: Michael Phelps vs. Pieter van den Hoogenband, vs. Ian ThorpeNo privacy in training. Making the decision to retire.

Brett speaks with Alice Tait formerly known as Alice Mills!
They talk about...
Living in Brisbane, Australia with her husband British swimmer Gregor Tait and their two young boys.
Her competitive nature begins in her childhood. "Always had to finish first. Always had to get up the stairs first."
Swimming with Shannon Rollason and Jodie Henry
Speed Conditioning -- doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl it should be the same.
Shannon would "reverse cycle" their program. Rather than starting with long endurance work like everyone else, they would start by swimming fast. Every season would start with speed.
Most all speed work done off the blocks. Tim Garrison.
Recovery.
Test set: 6x50's on 2:00
Summer of 2005: averaged 25.7
How 8x200 IM's gave her confidence at a young age.
Height and Weight throughout her career. Strength to weight ratio was excellent.
Her friendship with Libby Trickett.
18 years old. Lead off swimmer. First Olympics. First day. First swim. World Record. Gold Medal. This is easy!
Sarah Ryan. Petria Thomas.
Coming together to do quality sets off the blocks doing relay exchanges together in practice.
Did winning Olympic gold change your life?
Her son finding her medals. Watching old footage with your kids. Gregor Tait, her husband, was a high level Scottish swimmer.
Going through puberty. Losing self confidence.
Sports psychology.
Swimming Australia these days. "The rebuild phase is done now."
Missing the team by just a couple tenths. "I really wanted to be a 3-time Olympian."
Glenn Baker.
Retiring mid-session.
Becoming a nurse.
Corona virus in Australia.

Both of Darian's parents were competitive swimmers for Zimbabwe. Both still swim, mainly open water, and Darian's Mom teaches swim lessons, she owns her own swim school.
Sister swam at TCU in Forth Worth, Texas.
Sports in South Africa. Apartheid and Equal Rights.
He swam for Seals Swimming Club pretty much his entire age group career. He began training under Graham Hill leading up to 2004 Trials. Also learned a lot from Fred Vergnoux.
How'd you end up on that 4x100 Free Relay in Athens? Darian walks through the the race starting with outstanding Roland Schoeman's lead off swim. After that, "just do your job".
Swimmers that influenced him: Penny Heyns. Terence Parkin.

Today Brett interviews 2020 International Swimming Hall of Fame Inductee, Michael Klim.
They discuss how a chubby kid from Poland got to Australia.
How he was "tapped on the shoulder" by Gennadi Touretski and became training partners with Alexander Popov.
Being ranked #1 in the 200 Freestyle going into the 1996 Olympics and failing to make the Finals.
Peeing his pants on the blocks in Prelims of the 200 Free.
Doing 150 "starts" in 1 calendar year trying to break 50 seconds every time. Deliberate practice.
The story behind Klim becoming a pioneer by swimming freestyle with straight arms -- through trying things in training. In this case, through different sprint drills.
Sprint Drills: Dolphin Kick Freestyle. Dolphin Kick Freestyle with Head Up. Straight Arm Freestyle. Straight Arm Freestyle with Head Up.
How they trained by progressing through the day...Morning would be aerobic. Middle of the day would be your threshold set. And your 3rd practice at 7PM is all explosive sprints and power. They put in 90K/100K weeks.
One of Klim's Greatest Rivals: Geoff Huegill
Leading up to the 2000 Sydney Games, they had a training camp that was open to the public that saw a couple thousand people walk in and observe practice every day.
Brett explains leaving college swimming at Auburn early to focus on the 2000 Sydney Games, a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Beating the undefeated Americans in the 4x100 Freestyle Relay in 2000. They go very in deep about this. Ian Thorpe ripped 2 or 3 suits and thus wasn't in the ready room. Klim led off that relay with a World Record time of 48.18.
