We spent an entire day inside the University of Virginia’s program and sat down with head coach Todd DeSorbo to understand what makes UVA one of the most dominant teams in NCAA history. In this episode, Todd talks through the culture he inherited and how it transformed into the five-time national championship standard it is today. He opens up about leading athletes across two teams, keeping training fresh, balancing chaos with structure, managing big personalities, navigating major NCAA changes, and why he believes the program succeeds because everyone is pulling for each other. We also get into misconceptions about UVA’s training style, the reality of roster limits, recruiting philosophy, relay strategy, dual-meet showmanship, and how Todd handles nonstop seasons, national team responsibilities, and finding moments to breathe. It’s a look inside the mind of one of the most influential coaches in the sport and the environment that keeps producing champions. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- FOLLOW MISSY ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missyfranklin88/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS IM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% off endlesspools.com/unfiltered to unlock $1,000 off dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off arenasport.com to browse the full collection ----- #UnfilteredWaters #Swimming #ToddDeSorbo #UVA

For this Dynamic Duos episode, we sat down with sisters and Olympic medalists Gretchen and Alex Walsh to talk through the bond, the rivalry, and the daily life behind one of swimming’s most steady, consistent partnerships. We get into how their personalities balance each other, how they’ve learned to support one another on race day without adding pressure, and why their best moments in the sport have always come when they lean into who they are instead of trying to be anything else. They share their favorite stories from growing up racing each other, what people misunderstand about sisters who train and compete at this level, and the small habits that keep their relationship healthy in the middle of an intense NCAA and international schedule. It’s honest, funny, and full of the kind of perspective only two people who know each other this well can give. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- FOLLOW MISSY ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missyfranklin88/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS IM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% off endlesspools.com/unfiltered to unlock $1,000 off dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off arenasport.com to browse the full collection ----- #UnfilteredWaters #SportsPodcast #AlexWalsh #GretchenWalsh

Reaching 100 episodes feels surreal, so we wanted to slow down, look back, and celebrate what this show has become. In this episode, we revisit the moments that made the biggest splash, the conversations that took us deeper than we expected, and the guests who surprised us, challenged us, and left a mark. We talk about the episodes that changed us, the behind-the-scenes stories nobody heard, and the emotional highlights from the first interview with Caeleb Dressel all the way through the most recent conversations with athletes like Oksana Masters, Regan Smith, Gabby Thomas, Summer McIntosh, and so many more. We also share the superlatives our team created to help us sum up 100 episodes of growth, honesty, and a whole lot of laughter. Thank you for being part of this community.

Katie Hoff and Missy Franklin break down the sweeping NCAA changes hitting this season: B-finals removed from the night session (places 9–16 now score off prelims), only an A-final at night, a reshuffled order of events with diving integrated in shorter segments to keep energy high, and a new qualification model that blends auto-bids with descending time lists. They explain who pushed the proposal (CSCAA → NCAA oversight), why timing landed awkwardly after the season started, and what it means for coaches, athletes, and fans—plus why clearer live scoring and better storytelling are essential if the goal is a more TV-friendly, sold-out championship. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- FOLLOW MISSY ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missyfranklin88/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS IM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% off dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off ----- #UnfilteredWaters #SportsPodcast #NCAASwimming
