Show Notes
The Weekly Freestyle Podcast hits the “nervy 90s” with plenty to unpack, from behind-the-scenes chaos to big moments in the swimming world. There’s talk of listener involvement and a potential chance to join an upcoming relay, alongside recognition from the Royal Holloway Colors Ball where a Coach of the Year nomination, Freshman of the Year win, and a crest award capped off a strong night for the club.
A huge focus is on Cam McEvoy’s 20.88 world record in the 50m freestyle, breaking down the explosive start, race execution, and the ultra low-volume, race-pace training approach shaking up sprint swimming. The discussion digs into whether this method is the future or if it only works off the back of years of high-volume training and elite physical attributes.
The episode rounds out with key results from the Paris meet ahead of British Championships, plus exciting news of a potential Weekly Freestyle relay team entering competition. There’s even a call for a guest swimmer to join the squad, before wrapping up with race pace training chat and a fast, fun finish.
