Send us a text Not all champions are built in perfect conditions — and Chantal Naassana is a powerful case in point. A three-time Masters World Champion and national champion for both Egypt and the United States, Chantal shares how she returned to elite racing after moving from Cairo to the US, navigating Minnesota winters, a full-time career and a training life largely built on her own terms. Guided by online coaches and anchored by consistency, she’s crafted a high-performance approach that proves squads and daily deck side feedback aren’t the only path to world-class results. In this episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast Chantal breaks down the nuts and bolts of training solo: how to use the pace clock as your training partner, set precise intensity targets and keep sessions efficient without sacrificing quality. We talk strength and speed — phasing from force to power before major meets and using tools like sponge drag, parachutes, fins, and broken swims to convert strength into race-day speed. The conversation also goes deeper. Chantal opens up about racing her first Masters World Championships in Japan just one week after losing her father — and how swimming became both an anchor and an outlet in that moment. We explore mindset, visualisation (especially for the 200) and why recovery, sleep, and nutrition aren’t extras — they are the training. With eyes on more long-course racing and Budapest 2027, and a growing passion for coaching Masters swimmers, Chantal’s message is clear: you don’t need perfect circumstances — you need intention, patience, and belief. This is an episode for swimmers building something meaningful alongside real life — and doing it well. 🎧 Press play, steal the ideas, and swim your own way forward.

Send us a text What does it take to win an open water race when the water itself feels like a warm bath? On this week's Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast we sit down with Australian Masters standout Sharon Crisafi to unpack the 3km World Masters title she earned in Singapore - where heat, humidity and chop turned the race into a physiological and tactical puzzle. Sharon breaks down how she and her coach built a plan around the environment: hunting down warm indoor pools during winter, adding a wetsuit to simulate heat stress, and drilling race pace sets until the target speed felt familiar under fatigue. We walk through the race from the pontoon to the final touch: drafting early to curb pacing nerves, taking the lead on lap two when the tempo dipped, and holding form through lap three. Sharon shares why she skipped mid-race fluids, how she fought to rehydrate after, and what she’d change next time. We zoom out to her full training picture—core pool sessions a week, open water practice, and strength work built around the swim chain with endurance-focused reps. You’ll hear practical open water tactics you can copy right away: sighting advice, reading currents and ferry wake and understanding why ocean pace rarely equals pool pace. Sharon also opens up about managing nerves and aiming for Budapest with a realistic plan for freshwater and a deeper field. If you care about open water strategy, heat acclimation, and training that respects real life while still chasing fast, this conversation is a blueprint. Enjoyed the show?

Send us a text What if your fastest swim is still ahead of you? Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast sits down with New Zealand sprinter Laura Quilter, who left the sport for eight years and returned in her 30s to lay down lifetime bests—including a 25.08 in the 50 free at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. Her story blends curiosity, self-coaching, and a focus less is more, challenging the old belief that more metres always equals more speed. Laura breaks down how she rebuilt her sprint power with targeted strength work and smart periodisation: heavy lifts early in the cycle, then a shift to high-intent plyometrics as race day neared. In the pool, she replaced kilometres with broken 50s using parachutes, fins and paddles, stepping down resistance to convert strength into speed. We dig into the technical details that moved the needle—lateral body line to engage the lats, cleaner kick timing, and start cues like “thumbs to armpits” plus a back-foot loaded stance for a sharper dive. She even rethought her breakout to keep speed from stalling at the surface. The mental game is just as compelling. As a registered nurse working PM shifts, Laura learned to manage imperfect sleep, test readiness session by session, and keep a simple mantra on loop: be cool. She’s candid about a tough 50 fly in Singapore, the confidence of a heat win in the 50 free, and how breathing choices can swing a race. We also explore recovery at 33 versus 23, creatine dosing, and the freedom that comes from training less but with far more intent. If you’re a masters swimmer, a coach, or a sprinter chasing tenths, this conversation is a playbook for getting faster with fewer metres, better technique and a calmer mind.

Send us a text What does it take to build a masters swim community that actually lasts? Coach and athlete Dominic Tsui joins us to share how Fast Lane Masters in Hong Kong grew from a couple of swimmers in a rented lane into a culture-rich squad chasing podiums across Asia. From his first video analysis sessions to guiding relays that snag gold and break records, Dominic shows how consistency, simple technical priorities, and a clear meet calendar can transform adult swimmers at every level. We dig into the essentials that matter most: why breathing is the foundation for speed and body position, how to time exhale and inhale to unlock rhythm, and the drills and sets that produce real gains without burning athletes out. Dominic unpacks his go-to 6-1-6 scull drill for freestyle and his broken 400s structure at 200 pace to build aerobic strength and race-readiness. He also shares how the indoor Wan Chai pool unlocked early morning and noon training, making it possible for busy professionals to swim year-round without sun exposure. Along the way, we revisit highlights from World Championships in Singapore, relay thrills in Nagoya and Guangzhou, and the lessons that come from balancing a full coaching load with personal goals after injury. We also zoom out to the broader scene: why Hong Kong’s masters community is surging, how open water groups at Repulse Bay and Stanley pull 20 to 30 swimmers every weekend, and why six local meets a year keep squads motivated with team points and friendly rivalries. Dominic explains the two-track model that works for adults—development for technique and training for competition—and hints at plans to add structured dryland by partnering with a nearby gym. It’s a candid look at what motivates adults to show up, what great coaching feels like, and how a clear goal on the calendar can turn effort into habit.

Send us a text Sam WIlliamson joins us on Torpedo Swimtalk to discuss everything from medaling at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, to claiming the 50 breast world title in Doha. Sam walks us through the mental and technical shifts that turned nerves into a plan. He explains why the start didn’t need to be perfect, how he engineered a ruthless last 15 meters, and what it takes to stay calm in a call room full of giants. We also go deep on training. Sam describes building a unique breaststroke by borrowing the best pieces from legends—without copying anyone wholesale. Expect practical detail: fatigue-anchored 50s to harden finishes, power-tower bursts to translate gym work into the water, and weekly video analysis to tune line, hips, and timing. The Victorian Institute of Sport’s support threads through every step—physio, conditioning, and coaching aligned to one outcome: clean speed under pressure. Then everything changed in a second. A routine plyometric session led to a complete patella tendon rupture and urgent surgery. Sam shares the shock, the honest fear that it might be over, and the switch that flipped when the surgeon mapped a path back. Nine months, six rehab days a week, and a 10-inch scar later, he’s back swimming and targeting a February competition return. With LA 2028 adding 50 form strokes, he’s doubling down on sprint breaststroke while keeping the 100 and relays in the program. If you care about high-performance process, sprint biomechanics, and the mindset that makes the last strokes the strongest, you’ll love this episode with Sam.

Send us a text World champion and former short-course world record holder Bobby Hurley joins me for a ripper Torpedo Swimtalk episode — from winning the World SC 50 Back in Istanbul to racing everything from the 50 back to the 1500 free, then flipping the script as a coach and World Aquatics commentator. We get into range, resilience, and how the sport’s shifting toward stronger, more athletic swimmers — plus his current role leading the program at Tanglin School in Singapore. Why listen: Bobby’s one of the rare swimmers to master both sprint backstroke and long-distance freestyle — and he shares exactly how he trained both ends of the spectrum. We unpack his pivot from missing Olympic teams to claiming a world title, then moving into coaching world champions Chad Le Clos and Cameron van der Burgh. Bobby dives into how late-career PB's are becoming the norm thanks to smarter training loads, strength work, and mental-health support, and he breaks down the short-course tools that made him a world champion — underwaters, rhythm, and race-day precision. He shares how he prepares to commentate for World Aquatics and keep his insights sharp, and we chat about how adding the form-stroke 50s to the Olympics is changing the sport. Bobby also reflects on racing the 50 back at Masters Worlds in Singapore — including what he’d tweak if he raced long course again, and how Masters swimming reminded him that joy matters just as much as results.

Send us a text Gold medals at the World Masters Championships don’t happen by accident. UK based Martin Bennell, a Masters world champion in his late 40s, joins Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast walks us through the exact blueprint that turned a six-month promise—break 30 in the 50 breaststroke—into British records, lifetime bests, and three golds. We get into the gritty details: how he trains solo three times a week, why visualisation cues beat complicated routines, and the strength program that pushed power without sacrificing streamline. We talk race craft for real-world conditions—heat, humidity, jet lag—and how to keep your head quiet in top heats. Martin breaks down his best and toughest swims in Singapore, from an unexpected 100 free record to a hard-fought 100 breast with a blazing first 50. He shares the practical checklist he used in the call room, the technique tweaks that paid off and the smarter ways to travel, rest, and say no when the schedule gets noisy. The conversation widens to the booming UK Masters scene: deep fields, packed nationals, and relay rivalries that raise everyone’s game. Martin sets public targets for next season, including mixed 200 relays and a stronger second 50 in the 100 breast, and even throws a friendly challenge toward former world champion James Gibson. Along the way, we explore how discipline beats motivation, why marginal gains compound—nutrition, sleep, video feedback, cycling commutes—and how to balance family, work, and the grind without losing joy.

Send us a text What does it take to turn swimming punishing kilometres into smarter, faster racing? Olympic medalist and world record holder Geoff Huegill joins us on this week's episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast to unpack the evolution from “character-building” grind sessions to a sprint philosophy built on skill, precision, and purpose. Geoff takes us inside the old-school sessions that forged his resilience—10×400 fly, 100×100 on 1:20—and how those lessons translated into race-smart efficiency. He shares how two kicks per stroke, two strokes per breath in fly, and mastering underwaters can win races long before the pain sets in. We dig into the art of butterfly done right: minimising drag over muscling the water, and training your subconscious to execute when chaos hits. Geoff reflects on the Sydney 2000 Olympics—an Olympic record in the semi, a missed start in the final, and the gratitude that came with bronze—and the later breakthrough under Gennadi Touretski, learning to “use easy speed for 35 meters, win the last 65.” Beyond technique, Geoff opens up about redefining success—his Delhi gold, comeback journey, and recent Masters cameo—proving that experience can’t be rushed, and that smart training always beats empty volume. Whether you’re a coach, sprinter, or Masters athlete juggling real life, this chat leaves you with clear takeaways: Skills over show. Execution over anxiety. The pool builds people, not just athletes. 💬 If this episode fired you up, follow or subscribe, share it with a swim friend, and leave a review to help more swimmers find the show.

Send us a text Ready to rethink how strength work fits into your swim life? We welcome strength coach Jack Brown of Aqua Strength Performance to Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast and unpack a smarter approach to dryland that actually shows up on the clock. Jack blends a swimmer’s background with strength and conditioning chops to build programs that scale across youth, college, and masters athletes—without trashing shoulders, legs, or motivation. We walk through his full-body training model built around movement patterns rather than body parts, and why that matters for swimmers. Jack explains how he doses sessions across the week, why two to three lifts is a strong baseline, and how five-day training can work when volume and intensity are managed. He breaks down meet-week adjustments—cut reps, keep intensity, boost power—so you feel primed instead of flat. We also dive into isometrics as a low-fatigue lever for tendon health, range of motion, and recovery, and how to weave one to two ISO movements into any session to feel better fast. Chasing that first pull-up? Jack lays out a step-by-step path from lat pulldowns to band-assisted reps to slow eccentrics and finally a clean neutral or chin-up. For masters swimmers, he shares a measured blueprint: purposeful warmups, four primary lifts, simple accessories, and a seven-out-of-ten effort that respects real life while moving strength and mobility forward. Throughout, Jack’s mantra holds steady—keep the goal the goal—so the weight room builds speed, power, and durability where it counts most: in the water.

"What about open water swimming in Egypt", I ask. "Well we do have The Red Sea .....", she explains. Now that is a pretty impressive location for a swim! Egypt is one of the 76 countries the podcast is listened too, and it has been a joy to bring Hoda's story to you for this episode, once again proving that our swimming community is worldwide and all involved in this great sport love it.

Send us a text In this episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast we chat to vibrant triple Olympic swimmer - Englishman James Hickman James represented the UK at the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics; won the World Short Course 200m butterfly title 5 times and held the 100m and 200m Short Course World Record during that period. He has some great tales to tell from that time. With all these wonderful swimming accolades behind him, he settled down to a career in marketing and trotted around the globe for Speedo, finally landing in Sydney 6 years ago with his young family. In this harbour side city, he re-ignited his love of swimming by finding his "people" at a local Sydney pool and discovered a new passion in open water swimming as well. Now he finds himself a FINA Masters Swimming WR holder with his mates in a 4x50m relay and regularly racing in the pool and ocean when he can fit it all into his schedule. We chatted about his current training schedule - What he does, how often and what type of training he undertakes. James explained what he has learnt and is still learning in the open water. We talk about the way he used to train - "You have to make training harder than the race" and how this mantra fires him up now to challenge himself in the water. The biggest takeaway from our chat was his passion and connection to the water and that is something all lovers of swimming will recognise.

Send us a text Can we learn from elite and professional swimmers in our sport? I believe we can! And today's guest on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast shares many insights from that very vantage point. As Janelle Elford, she shared in the dominance of Australian middle distance freestyler's of the late 80's and early 90's, culminating in a gold, silver and bronze medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland. As Janelle Pallister, she coaches alongside Michael Bohl on the Gold Coast working with the high performance swimmers from Griffith University - the likes of Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown and Mack Horton to name a few - and is currently on the Swimming Australia coaching team in Birmingham for these Commonwealth Games. She is also mother and coach of up and coming Australian swimmer Lani Pallister, who scored a bronze in the 1500m in Budapest last month. So as you can see, Janelle has a truckload of experience to share with us from a swimming and coaching point of view. She is humble, down to earth and I have a feeling the swimmers she works with admire her perspective.

Lay over that, his founding of the L.O.S.T. swimming group, which sparked him to start the Global Swim Series and due to Covid, has now pivoted into the inaugural Race the Legends camp and race later in the year. And as a little side project, he was General Manager of the Toronto Titans ISL Team. This guy loves swimming! In the ocean, in lakes and in the pool.

Send us a text In 2000, Chris Fydler was a winning member of one of the most memorable Olympic men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay races in swimming history. 22 years later he has just become a master's WR holder in the 50m freestyle sprint (50-54) and the men's 4 x 50m freestyle relay 200+. What motivates a swimmer of Chris' statue to continue swimming and racing all these years later? Has his training changed over the years and what is his secret to swimming so fast? Quite simply, he just loves the water and swimming with mates. Now there is a recipe for relay success! Give this podcast with Chris a listen and find out why he says that in training for sprinting, "less is more".

In this podcast episode, US Masters Champion Trina Schaetz chatted about that very question from her perspective as a yoga instructor, as well as discussing everything else that makes up her training week.

Send us a text It takes a lot of determination and hard work to swim at the Olympics, when you don't have a 50m pool to train in! That's just part of the story for Angelika Ouedraogo from Burkina Faso in West Africa, who has represented her country at 3 x Olympic Games and now studies and swim masters in the US. We chatted about all this and much more in this episode. I loved hearing about Angelika's outlook on masters swimming and the joy she has in racing and continuing to look for ways to improve. And look out for Angelika in Paris in 2024, as she continues to strive towards a 4th Olympics!

Send us a text Have you ever contemplated doing a marathon swim? Like The Rottnest Channel Swim, or even something longer like the Derwent River Swim? Well Andrew Donaldson has completed both, as well as several others, and on this podcast he shares with us everything to consider when doing a marathon swim. Andrew graciously shared all his knowledge, about what type of training he does and his preparation, both before and during the swim. And what happens when you put in all that preparation and something doesn't go to plan? We discuss how Andrew dealt with that as well, during his recent Ausbil Swim, from Palm Beach to Shelley Beach along the NSW coast We also chatted about Andrew's passion project which he co-founded called "Swimclan" which is a starting point for swimmers interested in marathon swimming, but not sure where to begin! You will love hearing about Andrew's swim journey and I am sure you will gain many insights from his experiences and advice. Enjoy!

Send us a text Today's podcast guest is 2016 Olympic Gold Medallist and recent FINA Masters WR holder, US Olympian Ryan Held from the New York Athletic Club. We talked about Ryan's swim in the 4x100m free relay to win gold in Rio '16 and how he ended up swimming that third leg in the final, with Michael Phelps, Nathan Adrian and Caleb Dressel as team mates. We also discussed the recent 2022 US Nationals and Ryan's 100m freestyle race that got him back onto that US Team for the upcoming World Championships.. In between those two bookends, Ryan experienced a few set backs, that might have made other swimmers throw in the towel, so to speak. But his quiet determination, hard work and humility ensured Ryan came back to form at just the right time. Not to say that there weren't highlights in that time, namely breaking the US 100m National Freestyle record in 2019 and in 2021 breaking the 25-29 yrs FINA Masters WR in the 50m free. Ryan's stories around all these events are just pretty terrific. I love the fact he is a huge fan of masters swimming and he sees himself doing more masters meets when he retires from professional swimming. Not yet though! he has plenty more goals to reach leading into Paris 2024. Ryan is certainly a swimmer to watch and a joy to have on the podcast. You will love this chat.

Send us a text On today's podcast we chat with Male Swimmer of the Meet from the recent Australian Masters Championships - Paul Lemmon. We took a deep dive into Paul's training and discussed the secret to his success, in not only breaking 6 National Records at the recent Nationals meet, but replicating that success a few weeks earlier at the Australian Surf Lifesaving Championships on the Gold Coast, where he kicked all the goals in his chosen races. Cross training forms a big part of his achievements. What does Paul do in that cross training between the two disciplines that brings him such success in both?

Lynn is an inspirational swimmer, whose swimming journey has taken her through multiple FINA WR swims, induction into the International Masters Swimming Hall of Fame, and most notably, an amazing recovery from a terrifying cycling accident, and a return to top level masters swimming after recovery from those injuries. We talked about all these things, plus Lynn's amazing training schedule, and what she finds works for her with preparation for racing.

She has 35 world level medals to her name and is a 2 x NCAA national 100 Backstroke champion. She is an Auburn University Alum and now respected clinical psychologist. As you can see, we had a lot to chat about. Rachel gave so much insight into her time as a swimmer and spoke so eloquently about resilience, hard work and overcoming adversity. We also chatted about psychological tools we can use in our swimming, as well as some killer Auburn sets you may want to try. I absolutely adored this chat and I am sure you will too!

Send us a text Today's podcast guest is Californian resident, US Masters swimmer and Professor of Sociology - Lynn Fahey. Lynn is a vibrant and fun loving gal, who has re-discovered her love for swimming, after being out of the water for 10 years. Like many masters swimmers, she travels a lot for her work, and shared with us the ways she adapts her training, whether that be in a hotel pool or a local ymca, to fit everything in. When in LA, she trains with a local masters team when she can, but many of her workouts are squeezed into lunch hours. We chatted about how Lynn stays motivated to train by herself; what kinds of sessions she completes and how often. This is really interesting information and insight for all those masters swimmers out there who don't have a masters team close by that they can swim with or are struggling to fit swims in around work hours and family. It can be done! and Lynn shares her secrets with us.

Many years later, Tim found himself in Australia via his work as a University lecturer and rediscovered swimming through Masters, which he has a long association with. We chatted about swimming masters in Melbourne, then on to Ballarat and Daylesford in regional Victoria, where he is advocating for an indoor heated to service the Hepburn Shire. While he waits for that to take shape, you will often find him in Lake Daylesford, taking no heed to the old wives tale about the old gold mines sucking people down under water.

We chatted about how he prepared for those swims; the type of training needed and the obstacles he encountered and overcame to achieve these feats. We also spoke about critical speed training for endurance swimming. It is something many think they would not need to include, but Craig outlines why it is so important.

His journey took him through the Australian Institute of Sport in its heyday, and we chatted about the infamous training sets of those early 80's.

Her hiatus after College away from the pool, only heightened her love of swimming when she found the masters swimming world. It is always interesting to hear different masters swimmers approaches to training and competing, and Kristin was no exception. We spoke about swimming for the New York Athletic Club (and previously the Red Tide Masters) and the work they do in supporting elite athletes towards their Olympic dreams and the training she does at the club. We also chatted about Kristin's work in co-founding the not-for-profit Trident Swim Foundation, which supports school aged children with academic and swimming support on their road to College. As with many masters swimmers we speak with, it is evident that our love for swimming has flowed into other areas of our lives and this is definitely Kristin's journey. You won't be disappointed in listening in to this pod.

Send us a text Today's podcast marks our 50th episode release and I was thrilled to be joined by triple Olympian and Captain of the Australian Women's Water Polo Team - Rowie Webster. Rowie shared her experience and insights from her swimming and water polo career and interestingly what she has changed, and adapted in her approach to training and competing as she moves into her 30's. It was fascinating getting her perspective on leadership in her role as Captain of the Stingers and how Covid lockdown changed her leadership style. So many takeaways here for masters swimmers, whether pool or open water and well worth a listen.

Send us a text Today's podcast guest is a Masters Swimming World Champion, Surf and Open Water Swimmer and Coach of the Bondi Ocean Surf Swimmers, BOSS Squad, Talbot Henry. Talbot has a love of both pool and ocean swimming, which he is sharing with a growing band of ocean water swimmers at Bondi Beach Sydney, with his BOSS squad. We chatted about how he structures open water sessions; what he encourages his swimmers to concentrate on in ocean races and swims; and how it all originated. We talked about Talbot's own training, both in the pool and ocean, and the kind of sessions he does. From competing at the WMG in 2009 and 2017, and several other masters swimming comps, to swimming Rottnest Island Solo and the Gibraltar Straights, it was great to have Talbot's insight into each of these events and how he approached and trained for them. And if you ever find yourself in Sydney, and visit Bondi Beach, join in with Talbot's BOSS squad for an iconic swim along this famous shoreline. You won't be sorry you did!

Send us a text Today's guest on the podcast is USMS Level 3 Swim Coach and Michigan Masters Swimmer - Kris Goodrich. Great to get Kris' perspective on coaching masters swimmers and what we need to do in the pool to be successful. We chatted about training, the importance of doing drills and balance work with training sessions and why she frames her team training to include open water and pool training. We talked about the last USMS Nationals Kris went too, where she both coached and swam, and how she structures a dryland warm-up at competitions when the pool is too busy to warm-up in. A common problem many of us face! Kris gave her thoughts on the kind of workout you can do on a swim tether, which is helpful to so many masters swimmers who travel and want to get a workout in. And what are the three most important things masters swimmers need to do? Kris gives us her thoughts on that too.

Send us a text Born in Canada, Australian citizen and now living in New Zealand, Ultra marathon swimmer Rob Hutchings shares his love of wild lake, river and ocean swimming with us on today's podcast. We chatted about Rob's background in swimming; how he found himself competing in triathlons and then why he made his way to wild swimming, and ultimately the 256km Clutha River Swim he completed recently. Think "Lord of the Rings" movie scenery and you get the picture of the beautiful waterways he swims in. I was interested to find out how Rob prepared for such a big undertaking. We talked about the logistics, training, recovery, nutrition and support crew he assembled to name a few. Did he face any obstacles in the swim? How did he cope with rapids and changes to the river environment? And did his background in competitive swimming and triathlons help him through this mammoth effort swimming downriver in alpine water on New Zealand's South Island? Check out Rob's book "Downriver Nomad" which documents his swimming journey, here: https://adventuresoutsidethelanes.com/downriver-nomad/ You can see footage of the Clutha River Swim at this youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeIW6ioSHZA Connect with Torpedo Swimtalk via: https://www.torpedoswimtalk.com/ Support the show You can connect with Torpedo Swimtalk: Website Facebook Instagram YouTube Sign up for our Newsletter Support the show Leave us a review Torpedo Swimtalk is sponsored by AMANZI SWIMWEAR #swim #swimmer #swimming #mastersswimmer #mastersswimmers #mastersswimming #openwaterswimmer #openwaterswimmers #openwaterswimming #swimminglover #swimmingpodcast #mastersswimmingpodcast #torpedoswimtalkpodcast #torpedoswimtalk #tstquicksplashpodcast #podcast #podcaster #podcastersofinstagram #swimmersofinstagram #swimlife #swimfit #ageisjustanumber #health #notdoneyet

Send us a text On this weeks podcast we chat to two time Olympian and now Masters Swimmer Mike Alexandrov, and his journey representing Bulgaria and then the US in swimming. As is often said, it is not the destination, but the journey that got us there that is the real triumph. Mike embodies that thought! We talked about how masters swimming has helped Mike fill the gap after retiring from professional swimming, and the documentary he was part of about that journey called "Afterlife". Mike passionately promotes "the journey" and what it can teach us as athletes, and he finds himself living these values and life lessons each day, as he coaches, teaches, personal trains, swims and studies. And as Mike shares, "The (swimming) journey is often times the most important part of the whole: our commitment and fight towards purpose defines our soul". We talked about the small things that make being part of the swimming world so important to each of us.

How is he doing lifetime PB's at 39? Ask and you will be told! What does Geoff do in his training to optimise his results in competition? How does he juggle training, family and work and travel to races? And what kind of training is he doing to get faster with each swim. We also discussed our fan favourites question - What is Geoff's favourite set? But really the main thing that comes through in talking to Geoff, as with all the masters swimmers we speak too, is the love and passion the have for this amazing community which we are all part of.

Send us a text On today's podcast we chat to Canadian Cindy Mabee. She is a super fit, super fast masters swimmer based in Victoria, British Columbia. Cindy has had some superb results at FINA World Titles and US Masters Nationals, and she credits much of her fitness and strength to cross fit. We chatted about the introduction of that into her training; what type of swimming sessions she does and the joy she gets from swimming. We also talked about the hot topic of the moment - body shaming of female swimmers and how this was approached back in Cindy's age grouper days and what she sees coaching on pool deck now. We bonded over our love for Lucy Charles-Barclay and chatted about Cindy's new passion of Xterra, which kind of like an off road triathlon. I loved connecting to Cindy and bringing you her story.

We talked about Gary's adventures at the Olympics, from naive kid in 1968 where he won a silver medal in the 400 IM, through to his bronze in the 100 fly in Montreal 12 years later. He credits much of his success, and his coaching career to Doc Counsilman, who he trained under at Indiana University. We chatted about The Race Club, its evolution and current format and the wonderful joint initiative they have with US Masters Swimming. Gary has great advice for all masters swimmers and 5 important areas to concentrate on in the lead up to competition. We also had a cheeky chat about Gary Hall Jnr and his swims at the Sydney Olympics! It was clear that Gary Snr, like all parents, is extremely proud of Gary Jnr and his efforts. And rightly so!

Send us a text Today's guest is British Masters Swimmer and Swim England Sports Psychologist - Helen Davis. We chatted about how sports psychologists can help athletes overcome things like anxiety and loss of confidence. Many athletes have suffered during the pandemic with a loss of routine in training and life, and Helen had some sage advice for helping dealing with those issues. Do you find yourself over or under aroused approaching a race or swim? How can you deal with that? Music? Thinking routines? All of these strategies can help in optimising performance. Helen is passionate about masters swimming and swimming in general for that matter. We chatted about her swimming journey, why she likes the masters community so much and how she pivoted her training to outdoors in Britain during a Covid winter lockdown. Brrr! I am sure you will take much advice away from listening to this pod with Helen and find it useful in applying it to your own swimming.

Send us a text Today's podcast guest is a total immersion swim technique coach, with a passion for coaching swimmers in their open water and marathon swimming endeavours - masters swimmer Peter Hendricks. Open water swimming has exploded during world wide lockdowns, closing pools and pushing swimmers out to any other body of water they can find. Peter specialises in everything open water, from squads in the ocean to fixing their technique in the pool. It was interesting to hear Peter's perspective on what we can all do to become better at open water swimming. I especially enjoyed discussing the viscosity, or thickness, of the water and how that can have an impact on your stroke. What are Peter's tips for putting together a good open water swim and how does sighting impact everything we do in those water adventures? We discussed all this and more! Whether you are exclusively an open water swimmer or have just discovered it during lockdown, I am sure you will enjoy hearing about Peter's advice in improving that experience.

What is life like as a masters swimmer in Montreal, Canada?

Well on this week's episode, Robby Cox from "Off The Blocks Swimming Podcast" and myself definitely gave it a go!!! How did we get started in podcasting? Who have we enjoyed interviewing? What have we learned about coaching, swimming, racing, training, the Olympics and much much more. We even touched on the culture in Australian swimming, both historically and at present. What in our humble view should happen with the newly formulated advisory panel. In fact we could have kept talking about swimming all day, and also regaling stories from our own experiences on pool deck.

Send us a text I was delighted to sit down and talk to former Japanese National Swimmer and FINA Masters World Record Holder - Ryosuke Imai. Rio is a passionate and successful masters swimmer and an advocate for masters swimming in Japan. He is also an inventor, a swim company owner, a marathon runner and newly announced ambassador for next years FINA World Masters in Fukuoka. It takes a pretty courageous person to apply for College in the US without even speaking English, but that is what Ryo did, and he had a super successful career swimming for USC under Mark Schubert in the NCAA's. He was the first man to swim under 1 minute in 100m breaststroke SC and he parlayed that onto the Japanese National Team. We spoke about all this and how that background in swimming and his love for bringing swimming equipment technology to Japan, led to him starting his masters career. Fukuoka sounds like the place to be next year for the World's and Ryo gave me a few tips for making it a seamless visit. You won't want to miss listening to this episode.

Send us a text On today’s podcast, we hear from highly credentialed Strength and Conditioning Coach Ryan Plavin. And among other things I asked him, what can we do on land to make ourselves faster in the water? Ryan has a Masters Degree in Exercise Science, specialising in S&C and works with high performance athletes across a number of different sports at Melbourne Fitness and Performance. He is the perfect person to find out how to make ourselves stronger and therefore faster in the water. We chatted about whether you need to do specific swimming actions in your strength training to transfer to the water; the type and frequency of S&C needed as a mature swimmer; and what are the most important exercises to include in your program. We really got down to the nitty gritty of strength training and the science behind it!

Laura has received countless accolades for her superb swimming, among them inductee into both the International and Masters Halls of Fame. She is humble and matter of fact and as with many swimmers I speak too, loves the water, loves the training and loves the racing. We talked about the friendships she has made travelling around to different meets and what that means to her; the type of training and sets and distances she completes and the delight she had participating in a Gary Hall Snr's Race Club Clinic just recently. We also chatted about the day she broke 6 WR's in one race in the 1500m FRS! She broke the 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m on the way through, with feet on the wall. What an achievement.

Send us a text Today's guest is Triple Olympic medallist from the Beijing Olympics, Andrew Lauterstein. We discussed his swimming journey and how at 34 yrs of age and 10 years post retirement, he has been able to swim a near personal best in the 50 FRS at the recent Australian Nationals. Why did he get back in and race? How did he swim so fast? What type of training has Andrew been doing to get back to that near lifetime best. We discussed all that and more, and it became evident that staying fit during his "retirement" years played a big part on swimming that fast well into his 30's. We chatted about being part of that famous 100 butterfly race from Beijing, and sharing the marshalling room and the dias with Michael Phelps; his memories from racing at the Olympics and World Championships and his life now as Co-Owner of Engine Swimwear and Mentone Aquatic. Sprinkle in a bit of chat about open water swimming and cross-fit games competitions, and you have yourself a podcast worth listening to.

Send us a text Today's guest on the podcast is Jess Corones, Performance Solutions Manager at Swimming Australia. I caught up with Jess while she was in quarantine on returning to Australia from Tokyo, and I wanted to talk about two things - her work as the Lead Sport Scientist assisting swimmers and coaches on the Australian Swimming Team, and to discuss her Poppa - George Corones - honorary Australian Dolphin and Masters World Record holder at 100yrs old. Australia just had arguably their best ever Olympics and Jess' work, particularly with the relays, cemented that success. Hear about how Jess worked with the coaches and swimmers to fine tune their changeovers, dives, turns, stroke rates and underwater work. She also found herself part of the Amazon Prime series "Head Above Water" and we chatted about how that gives an insight into her work. We also chatted about Jess' memories of her Grandpa George, who sadly passed away last year at 102 yrs of age. He broke a WR during the Commonwealth Games trials in 2018, and was hence made an honorary member of the Australian Dolphins Swim Team. What did masters swimming mean to him? George was such a cheeky loveable soul, and certainly a ladies man around pool deck. It was a really interesting and insightful chat and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking to Jess.

Send us a text Today's podcast guest was the oldest debutant swimmer at the recent Australian Olympics trials - 48 year old David Bale. David's story is one of inspiration. He was happily competing in Masters Swimming and going about his business, when he was struck done with a neurological condition similar to MS. It has effected his legs and arm, but swimming helped his condition immensely, so that's what David did! He swam. And swim he has done. Not only does he train with able bodied teenagers, he competes at many able bodied meets and is breaking records left right and centre. We chatted about the type of training David does: how often he trains and what it was like on pool deck at the Olympic trials. I know you will enjoy listening to David Bale's swimming journey.

Send us a text It was an honour to sit down and discuss swimming with 6x Paralympic Swimming Gold Medallist - Ellie Cole OAM, for today's podcast. At nearly 30 yrs of age, Ellie is about to head to Tokyo for her fourth Paralympic Games, and it was so refreshing to hear about why she still loves swimming so much; how her training has needed to change and adapt since her two shoulder reconstructions and the delight she felt in having the multi-class and able bodied swimmers in the same program at the recent Olympic Trials. Ellie is a humble and self-effacing women, who although she would not admit it, has played a major role in changing societies views of athletes with a disability. We chatted about her role in the Netflix film "Rising Phoenix" and how that also showcased Paralympic athletes journeys and their terrific "can do" attitude! She is a role model to scores of junior athletes and hopes to have one or two swimming schools under her belt in the future, but what really shone through in this interview, was Ellie's zest for life.

Send us a text Today I had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Masters WR holder - John Cocks. John is such a humble and unassuming man, who before discovering Masters Swimming in his late 60's, represented Australia for the Wallabies in Rugby Union and pioneered laparoscopic abdominal surgery in Australia. He parlayed that determination and drive into Masters Swimming and has never looked back. We chat about his training; the way he approaches his races and his mindset in some of those WR individual medley swims. What is even more astonishing, is that John learnt how to swim butterfly in his 70's! A feat some swimmers half his age have trouble with. John loves the comradeship and friendship he finds in masters swimming and we can all learn from his pearls of wisdom and they way he approaches life, and swimming!

Send us a text Today's podcast guest is former US National Swimmer and Masters International Hall of Fame Inductee - Clay Britt. We chatted about Clay's time swimming NCAA's at the University of Texas and the joy and excitement of being part of such a top notch team. We spoke about how he got started in masters swimming in 1988 and why his focus has changed from competition in the early days to now using swimming as a fitness, mental health and stress release avenue. It was interesting to find out about Clay's training, sometimes with a squad, but more often than not by himself. How does he motivate himself? By using the adage "Success comes through suffering" and having a goal which he works towards. Oh ...... and by checking in with his age old "test set" to compare his progress with. Clay has been a masters swimmer for 33 years, which gives him a wonderful perspective about why we follow the black line and what it means to so many of us. You will not want to miss this podcast!

It is always interesting hearing about they way masters swimmers train, and Cecilia was no exception. We talked about the type of work outs she does for her 200 IM event; why she includes lots of kicking in the sessions and the joy of being part of a close knit squad.

Send us a text Today's podcast guest is Masters Swimming Australia Mental Health Ambassador - New South Welshman Paul Bailey. We talked about how Paul discovered masters swimming as a form of self therapy to recover from depression, alcohol and Xanax addiction. Having that daily commitment to swimming and exercise, and surrounding himself in the wonderful masters community all contributed to his recovery. As a tribute to others suffering from depression, Paul has started swimming a 10km butterfly swim every few months to highlight mental health awareness. We chatted about his training for these swims, how he approaches them and what he hopes to achieve by completing them. During the Covid pandemic, mental health has been highlighted even more, and it is inspirational people like Paul who are de-stigmatising this silent disease.

Send us a text On today's podcast, I sat down with ultra marathon swimmer and athlete - John Van Wisse. We discussed how he prepared his body for a swim like the double crossing of the English Channel and the race around Manhattan Island. We chatted about the training involved; nutrition during the race, and how John continually pushes his body to new limits in ultra marathon events. Ultra marathon swims are not all that this amazing athlete has conquered. John has raced in the Hawaii Ironman, the Arch to Arc Enduroman and now is taking on a professional boxing fight! We learn about what kind of workouts John did before his big swims, and also the kind of workouts he gives the swimmers he coaches, who come from all different parts of the swimming spectrum - pool, open water, water polo, ultra-marathon, triathlon to name a few. This podcast is really worth a listen, and not only to hear John's humble perspective, but the advice that can be taken into any form of swimming with a positive "can do" mindset.

Send us a text Today's guest is marathon swimmer and Pacific Open Water Swim Company Co-Owner and Boat Pilot - Sylvia Lacock. It was really interesting getting Sylvia's perspective on how marathon swimmers can be assisted in their epic adventures with the right Boat Pilot and the correct knowledge. She leaves nothing to chance in her quest to give swimmers the best experience they can have. From Alcatraz swims in San Francisco Bay to Lake Tahoe, Sylvia and her team offer their expertise. We chatted about many aspects of what goes into being successful in a swim of this magnitude. And she speaks from her own experience, as she has conquered the Catalina Channel! An epic swim in itself. If you have completed a marathon swim, or you are thinking of doing one, have a listen to this podcast. I am sure you will benefit from Sylvia's advice.

Send us a text Today's guest is vibrant British Swimmer Jo Corben. She is a three time Masters World Record holder and owns many British and European records as well. I was really interested in chatting about what motivates Jo to continue racing and producing world class swims over a nearly 20 year career in masters swimming. We talked about what type of training she does; her great working relationship with her first masters coach; and her interest in the "Be Activated" physiology program, which she credits for the longevity of her career. In these Covid times and while pools have been closed, Jo found other ways of keeping fit, namely the quest to conquer the three peaks in the UK! This is one masters swimmer who flourishes when she sets herself a goal and I am sure you will gain many insights from Jo to use in your own training.

Send us a text In this Season 1 finale, we hit pool deck and talk to many masters swimmers who were racing at their first competition since Covid lockdown. The theme that overwhelmingly came through in each interview, was the absolute delight everyone had in being back to racing and socialising with swimmers from near and far. The mantra of masters "fun, fitness and friendship" was evident across the board and no one minded too much with times being a little off past pb's. It has given everyone a starting point of where they are at and where they want to be. We hope you enjoy this final episode in Season 1 and we look forward to bringing you lots more exciting guests in Season 2 in a few weeks.

We talked about his races at FINA World Champs, in particular, Kazan and Gwanju and what he does in his warm up to be "race prepared". How does an 800m Freestyle World Champion pace his gold medal winning race? What kind of training does Gerry do in the lead up to racing? How often does he train and what type of sets does he do? I am sure you will be challenged when you hear his favourite set! It's an oldie but a goody. Gerry is a dab hand at ocean swimming as well, racing with much success over the Australian summer and among his many first places, twice a winner of his age group at the famous Pier to Pub swim in Lorne.

Send us a text Today's podcast guest is World Record Holder, Ultra Marathon Swimmer - Australian Tammy Van Wisse. She has crossed some of the most treacherous waters in the world in her marathon swims and it is intriguing to hear Tammy talk about how she approached each of them. What does it take to be successful in creating World Records, some in swims people have never attempted before? Like doing an 18hr crossing of Bass Strait (Tasmania to mainland Australia) swimming from Battery Park, New York to Sandy Hook, New Jersey at 38 yrs of age and swimming the entire length of the Murray River, 2,438km! We discussed the physical requirements needed to accomplish these extraordinary feats, but also the mental side of how Tammy approached these swims. What kind of distance in training each day do you need to put in to accomplish a swim of this magnitude? What kind of nutrition is needed? How to cope with saltwater swelling and jellyfish stings and who supports you on the water and land? We covered all of these questions and more in our chat. It is obvious from our talk, that Tammy is a determined and inspirational athlete and a living testament to "the mind being so powerful" that it can help you overcome any physical discomfit to reach your goal. A truly inspiring lady!

Send us a text Imagine swimming a 26.32 sec for a 50m Freestyle and qualifying for the US Olympic Swimming Trials at age 40! Well North Carolina swimmer Erika Braun did just that. We talk about that and so much more on today's podcast. What made her get into Masters swimming, after 12 years out of the water? How did she manage to swim a lifetime best at 40? What training does Erika do that makes her so fast? Why does she love masters swimming so much and what makes up her training week? We also chatted about her 100m freestyle FINA World Masters record; how she tried several times to break it, and then finally doing so in the lead off leg of a relay. That 4x100m relay also claimed the world record. It was such an interesting discussion and an insight into the mind of a champion, who we can all learn from in our quest to be the best we can be as masters swimmers.

It was so interesting chatting to Nicolai about strength training in masters athletes. She has a wealth of valuable advice to impart. We talked about her work with elite athletes and her work with High Performance New Zealand, where she is working with the NZ Women's Olympic Hockey Team. What lessons can we as masters swimmers learn from the elites when it comes to strength and conditioning? Nicolai has some interesting perspectives on this, particularly relating to sprinters. Should we train more like athletics athletes? What can we learn from them? We chatted about the specifics of what a strength program should look like, and what to look for in a S&C coach. Funny and entertaining anecdotes from her adventures as a masters swimmer were also discussed. PS I love her favourite swimming sets!!!

We find out why she loves the camaraderie of Masters Swimming and the connections she has made around the world while competing at different competitions. We also talk about her professional working life as a Sports Consultant - working on things as diverse as British Swimming, designing FINA approved swimwear and interviewing Ian Thorpe! One thing comes across from this chat with Helen, like all really successful swimmers, she is a hard worker in the water and loves the challenge of race pace sets at training. She even loves those 2km kick sets her coach sets!

What kind of mindset did he take into swimming? What type of training did he do? and What inspired him to start a Masters Swim program in Dallas, Texas? Jim also has a handy 14 FINA Masters World Championships to add to accomplishments! He chats about why he has had to give up pool swimming, but in doing so discovered open water swimming. He still coaches masters swimmers and owns a swim school in Dallas. The lucky swimmers he comes into contact with, benefit from his wealth of knowledge. "Your potential is limited by your imagination and the commitment you are willing to make" Jim Montgomery.

Send us a text Today's guest is Suzanne Heim-Bowen. She has so many accolades to her name, that it was hard to know where to start chatting. One thing is for certain, Suzanne is a delightful and humble lady, whose life long love of the water has parlayed into Masters Swimming. We talked about how Suzanne has been able to be successful in any body of water - at last count she had 23 Masters World Pool Records; she owns the Triple Crown Open Water honour, among many amazing open water swims and races; she is an inductee into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as a Masters Open Water inductee and she was a college freshman at 50! There is even a short film about her second college career. I think you will be really interested in all Suzanne has to say about training, swimming and her positive mindset, which enables her to just "keep swimming".

Our guest today is the founder of Swimnastics - Kirsten Norden. If you are not familiar with Swimnastics, then you soon will be!. It is a dry-land program incorporating the fundamentals of gymnastics to help swimmers build strength, flexibility and skill acquisition in the water.

She talks about how the program has grown in popularity, starting with face to face classes, and now online Zoom and an on-demand library available. Swimming Victoria, Swimming Australia and Swimming NSW and QLD are all using this. Even the Melbourne based Australian Rules Football reigning premiers - Richmond FC use Swimnastics.

Send us a text Today's guest is one of the greatest "Watermen" the world has seen - Paul Blackbeard. Paul competes in masters pool swimming, open water racing, pool lifesaving and surf lifesaving. He sails, he meditates, he holds world records, he swims the Rottnest Island swim each year, he holds Triple Springbok Colours and he has the title of being in the top 50 "Watermen" in the world . Whats's a Waterman you may ask? We discuss all of that and more. Zambian born, South African raised and now residing in Perth, Australia, we chat about Paul's lifelong relationship with the water. As a South African National Champion many times over in the mid to late 70's, Paul would have definitely swum at the Olympics if not for the IOC boycott due to apartheid. How did he cope with that disappointment? With positivity and new goals is how! Not many 63 year olds can still do 100x100's on a 1:30 time cycle and and still break a minute in a 100 freestyle race. What type of training does he do; how often does he train and why is he so successful? Paul is a leader in our masters swimming community, and even founded the South African Masters Swimming Association. We covered a lot of ground in this episode and there was so much more to discuss. Part 2 may be on the cards!

Send us a text Today’s guest is FINA Masters World Champion, Hawaii Ironman Triathlete and Noosa Swim Coach - Jan Croft. We chat to the very humble Jan about her inspiring swimming journey. Jan swam in the golden age of Australian swimming in the 50’s to 60’s, and as a nationally ranked 400 and 800m swimmer, she narrowly missed the 1960 Australian Olympic team and the 1962 Commonwealth Games team. We find out why she ended up working as a coach for Don Talbot when she retired in 1962 and how this set her on a coaching journey. Jan won the 800m Freestyle at the 1988 FINA world masters after 26 years out of the water, but didn’t race again in masters swimming for 20 yrs, because she decided to try triathlons! She was pretty successful at those too, getting herself on the podium at the Hawaii Ironman. We find out why she came back to masters swimming; how much she enjoys coaching swimmers at the Noosa Aquatic Centre in Queensland and what keeps her motivated to keep training and racing.
