    Night Swim Podcast Full Episode: November 1, 2026

    The lifeguards are on, and the Night Swim boys are back with another packed episode! This week, Dax and Elvis dive into some of the biggest conversations happening in swimming, from college team controversies and coaching decisions to NIL deals, athlete performance, and the future of the sport. The guys discuss the reported hazing situation at Texas A&M and debate where team bonding ends and hazing begins. They also react to Bob Bowman’s growing social media presence, question what coaches should be using their platforms for, and discuss the uncertain future of the legendary Indian River swimming program. Adam Peaty is back in the conversation as the hosts question whether having too much muscle is really behind his recent struggles. They also break down Matt Richards reportedly joining Florida for one semester in a major NIL deal, raising questions about the growing influence of money in college swimming and whether the current system is getting out of control. Then it's time to revisit the Short Course World Trials. Kate Douglass and Jack Alexy deliver two of the standout performances, Caeleb Dressel sparks another debate about whether he's truly back, and the guys discuss Simone Manuel's path to the team, Gretchen Walsh's performances, and what these results mean for American swimming. And finally, the conversation turns to technique, race footage, and why swimmers may be spending too much time conditioning and not enough time studying their own performances. Should more teams be recording practices and holding film sessions like football programs? Like, share, and subscribe, join the Night Swim membership, and get involved in the conversation.

    Night Swim Podcast Full Episode : Thomas Heilman Interview

    On this episode of Night Swim, we’re joined by Thomas Heilman of the University of Virginia to talk college swimming, the College Swimming League (CSL), training philosophy, and UVA’s ambitions to become an NCAA powerhouse on the men’s side. Thomas shares his experience competing in the CSL, why the electric atmosphere and fast-paced format make the meets exciting, and how racing multiple events in a short period challenges swimmers. We also discuss his development as a young swimmer, setting a national age-group record at 14, and how race-specific training, lower yardage, great training partners, and attention to technical details helped shape his career. We get into UVA’s training environment under coaches Todd DeSorbo, Gary Taylor, and Tyler Fenwick, the dynamic between the men’s and women’s teams, and why the UVA men believe they can compete for an NCAA team championship in the coming years. Plus, we debate whether swimming and diving should be separate sports, discuss celebrations in the pool, and look ahead at the athletes who could make a major impact this season. Can the UVA men take the next step and challenge the traditional NCAA powerhouses? Is the CSL changing college swimming for the better? And what does it take to build a championship team?
