Trials and Tribulations

The Podium

Arguably the world’s most competitive swim meet, the US Olympic Swimming Trials are integral to why Team USA is so dominant in the pool. National Team coach Todd Desorbo and Director of Performance Matthew Barbini break down the strategy and magic of a make-or-break event. Our swimming correspondent and 2-time Olympic medalist Elizabeth Beisel gives us a report from her time on deck.
