About this episode
There are more elite Black swimmers in the NCAA today than ever before — and Elvis & Dax are asking the question everyone not-so-secretly wants answered: Where are they all coming from… and why NOW? In this segment, the guys dive deep into:– Tennessee’s roster LOADED with Black sprinters– Florida’s wave of Bahamian & Caribbean talent– Why there were only one or two Black swimmers per state 10–15 years ago– The rise of Caribbean athletes dominating sprint events– Access, affluence, representation, and REAL talk about genetics– Why Black swimmers bring more personality, energy, and culture to the sport– Why swimming desperately needs bigger personalities to grow– How “cool factor” and cultural influence could reshape the future of swimming. Plus: hilarious stories about floating (or NOT floating), box jumps, insane athleticism, and what it was really like growing up as one of the only Black kids on deck. This is the rawest, most honest conversation happening in competitive swimming right now.
