    Women are stacking multiple world records - and the men aren’t. In this Night Swim clip, we dive into why female swimmers currently dominate the world-record leaderboard, why the numbers look wild on paper, and why this isn’t as simple as “women are better now.” We talk: Short course vs long course (aka record inflation season) The American college system and strength training cheat codes Why the data looks shocking until you actually read it Who’s benefiting, who’s getting cooked, and why nobody wants to say it out loud Welcome to the late-night swimming conversation with no lifeguards on deck and zero respect for bad stats. 🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

    We HATE the Olympic 50m Stroke Qualification Rules

    Dax and Elvis share Cam McEvoy's frustration and displeasure with the convoluted Olympic qualification rules for the 50m stroke events (50 Fly, 50 Back, 50 Breast). They break down why the 50s of stroke get zero respect — weird time windows, priority spots eaten up by versatile swimmers, and how specificity in sprinting is punished while versatility is rewarded. Is swimming set up to kill the pure 50m specialists? The guys don't hold back. 🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

    French coach Philippe Lucas trained Tunisia's Ahmed Jaouadi to double World Champion last summer… and now the federation allegedly owes him €50K in bonuses. They're claiming they paid the swimmer and he was supposed to pass it on. Classic small-country Houdini with the money? Dax and Elvis expose the shady side of international coaching deals.

    Sprint Technique Secret: You NEED Long Stroke Efficiency First (Controversial Take)

    Everyone says grind yards to build your aerobic base before sprinting… but is that garbage? Dax and Elvis argue the REAL foundation for elite sprinting is learning long, efficient long-course strokes first. Short-course power comes easy after that - but going the other way? Good luck. This controversial take will piss off half the coaches in America. No lifeguards on duty. Comment: Did you learn meters or yards first? How'd it affect your speed?

    Is USA Freestyle COOKED? Choppy Yards Strokes Killing Long Course Dreams

    Coach Jake from Bolles just dropped a bomb: American freestyle is getting too choppy, too powerful, too yards-focused - and it's destroying our long course game. Dax and Elvis break down why USA swimmers look explosive in short course but flop in meters compared to Popovici, Thorpe, and the international stars. Is the college system ruining freestyle? The lifeguards are gone - this is the dark truth nobody wants to say.

  8. BRING BACK SUPER SUITS NOW! 😤 Dax & Elvis EXPOSE Why the Ban Was BS & Swimming Got BORING

    JAN 3

    BRING BACK SUPER SUITS NOW! 😤 Dax & Elvis EXPOSE Why the Ban Was BS & Swimming Got BORING

    Dax and Elvis dedicated a passionate segment to calling for the return of super suits (the polyurethane full-body/high-tech suits from 2008-2009 like Speedo's LZR Racer, Arena X-Glide, and Jaked models), arguing the 2010 ban was misguided and hurt the sport.Elvis's TakeHe led the charge: "We need to bring back the super suits. That's the sentence right there."He called the ban "kind of stupid" because it wasn't truly unfair—everyone could access them (FINA even provided free suits at 2009 Worlds to level the field for poorer countries).He highlighted hypocrisy: Pre-ban jammers cost $120-300; super suits were $400-500. Post-ban, basic jammers jumped to $400-500 for less material (even before inflation).He predicted suit companies are sitting on stockpiles - bring them back to make races exciting again.Personal angle: The suits helped non-floaters (like stronger/muscular swimmers) by equalizing buoyancy, turning swimming into "a black sport" (his words: man-to-man competition without genetic floating advantages).He compared it to running barefoot vs. spikes: Why handicap everyone?Dax's TakeHe agreed fully, reminiscing about how amazing they felt (legs floating insanely high, like being "upside down").He tried exotic ones like the shiny X-Glide and called it straight-up cheating (in a fun way).He tied it to the rumored ban reason: It was the first time Phelps faced real competition (e.g., Paul Biedermann smoking him in the 200 free in a better suit), so the superstar got "superstar treatment."Both laughed about Phelps being "Squidward in the window" watching everyone else dominate in superior suits while he was stuck with Speedo.They said the suits drove massive interest—one crazy summer of 43 WRs at 2009 Rome Worlds alone.Records would reset fairly, then progress normally.They embraced tech evolution (like better track spikes or golf clubs) over "purity."Counter to devaluing records: It was temporary chaos; the market would correct, and fast times = cool sport.As of today (January 2026), there's no sign of super suits returning. World Aquatics updated competition/swimwear regs in 2025 (effective throughout the year and beyond), but they stick to textile-only, no polyurethane/non-permeable materials. Many 2009 men's records still stand (especially sprints/mid-distance), while women's have mostly fallen (due to retaining more coverage post-ban). The debate pops up occasionally in forums/podcasts, but the ban holds firm—no official push to revive them. Dax and Elvis are out here fighting the good fight for chaos and speed, though! 🏊‍♂️💥🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.
