Connect to Swimming World

As a swimmer from somewhere where swimming isn’t very popular, I found this podcast as a way to connect to the vast swimming world. I get to hear about news from the swimming community and meets happening all around. Great podcast to listen to on long drives, or on the way to swim meets.

So good!

Love the unique perspective that Missy and Katie bring to their guest interviews. This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts! It’s so interesting to learn more about each of the athletes.
