On this week's Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we welcome Tokyo Paralympian Suzanna Hext. For those who don't know much about Suzanna's story, in 2012 she became wheelchair-bound after being paralysed in an equestrian accident. Since that moment she has gone on to represent Great Britain with esteem at both Para-Equestrian and Para-Swimming, winning international honours in both sports including a Silver and Bronze at the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships in London. She's the British Record in the S5 50 and 100m Freestyle SC and the SB4 100m Breaststroke and recently competed at the Tokyo Paralympics finishing in fourth in both the S5 100 and 200m Freestyle finals. We speak with Suzanna about how London 2012 Paralympics helped her find her identity again after her accident, as well as how swimming came into her life and why her competitive nature drove her to become a member of British Para-Swimming. Suzanna also takes us through her journey to Tokyo which includes one of the worst preparations an athlete could dream of. Ear Infections, Surgeries and Asthma attacks all attempted to derail her, but with a massive helping of determination and stubbornness, she can now call herself a Paralympic Finalist. ✔️ SUBSCRIBE to Propulsion Swimming: http://bit.ly/PropulsionSwimming 🆕 Our Latest Video: https://bit.ly/PropulsionSwimLatest Welcome to the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, aiming to give British Swimming the coverage and publicity it deserves!!

This week on the Propulsion Swimming Podcast we are joined by Erin Robertson. At age 16 Erin was Commonwealth Youth Champion and an age group record holder. However just 14 months later she was left feeling like a complete and utter failure, and as if she had let down every last person who had ever supported her. Because of those feelings, she left the sport. That was roughly 5/6 years ago and since then, she has returned to competitive swimming and has a newfound love for the sport again. We wanted to speak to Erin on this week's episode to discuss what lessons can be taken away from her journey through the sport, especially as an age group swimmer. Whether that be her USRPT training, racing at national championships at an age as young as 12, and how the pressure put on her by the media affected her mental health. We hope that others can improve their own journey through the sport by listening to this conversation and know if you step away from the sport of swimming, the enjoyment can come back, just like it has for Erin!

On this weeks episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we speak to GB deaf swimmer, Nathan Young about the lack of funding the UK government gives to help him on his journey to become a Deaflympic Champion. After the huge success of British Swimming at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the UK government has now given more funding towards Olympic and Paralympic Sport in the lead up to the Paris 2024 Games. Sadly for our guest Nathan, even though he is one of the top deaf swimmers in the world, he won't get any part of that funding at all. We also talk about his current campaign of trying to build up exposure of GB deaf swimming, how he thinks that the Deaflympics should be on a level playing field with the Olympics and Paralympics, and what it's like being a swimmer living with the disability of having your hearing impaired.

Addressing the Dropout in Swimming On this week's Propulsion Swimming Podcast we discuss and address the reasons that many teenagers leave the sport when in reality their swimming journey has just begun! There are so many reasons that kids drop out of swimming. It could be a change in interests, clashes with a coach, burnout, job opportunities, and many more. For me, I struggled to understand with a lack of improvement in the pool and why my times all of a sudden stopped falling. It was never explained to me that when I hit 16/17 that my body may have stopped changing and PB's were going to be a lot harder to come by. This combined with a clash in training style with my coach meant I turned my focus quickly towards study and academia. I clearly love the sport of swimming, that never went, I now co-run a successful swimming YouTube, so are there any adjustments that could have happened during my journey through the sport that meant I didn't leave the pool so soon? On this week's Propulsion Swimming Podcast we take a deep dive into how we can stop kids from dropping out of the sport, which is especially important given this prolonged period out of the water. Does swimming in the UK have a fundamental issue with times being the gold standard and not enjoyment? And if there is an adjustment towards enjoying racing, winning, and points competitions - like many competitions are across the pond - would we see more swimmers stay racing for a longer time? If you only listen to one of our podcasts this year, please make it this one. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic!!
