About this episode
In this week's episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we are talking to one of the fastest teenage swimmers ever in Jacob Whittle!! Jacob's career-best times are routinely compared with the likes of Kyle Chalmers and Caeleb Dressel! He's the fastest 14-year-old ever in the 100m Freestyle with a time of 50.3 and the second-fastest 16-year-old with a personal best of 48.55. At just the age of 16, he will be the youngest member of the British Swimming squad at the Tokyo Olympics. We talk through with him about his attitude toward all of the hype coming his way, what differences he faces going to the Tokyo Olympics 2021 as a junior, and his progression from Derventio Excel to Loughborough and being mentored by Adam Peaty, Anna Hopkin and Luke Greenbank! #JacobWhittle #BritishSwimming #DerventioeXcel#Tokyo2021 #100mFreestyle #PropulsionSwimmingPodcast ✔️ SUBSCRIBE to Propulsion Swimming: http://bit.ly/PropulsionSwimming 🆕 Our Latest Video: https://bit.ly/PropulsionSwimLatest Welcome to the Propulsion Swimming Podcast.
