From practice, to prom, to the podium?
Teenage super phenom Claire Curzan joins us to chat about her prep for the upcoming US World Championship Trials.
Already an Olympic silver medalist and American record holder, Claire has been carving her name into the record books since she was a kid, and so far in 2022, the theme continues.
Claire has dominated the Pro Swim Series with top times in the country in 3 different strokes, and will soon welcome all challengers to her “home” pool in Greensboro for a chance to represent the US in Budapest this summer.

Auburn Head Coach, and former Auburn standout swimmer, Ryan Wochomurka joins us for a reflection on his first year leading the program.
Ryan was a 21x All-American at Auburn in the early 2000s at the peak of Auburn’s dominance, and following his swim career he’s built an impressive coaching resume with success as an assistant at Louisville and as a head coach at Houston.
Notably, Auburn has faded from prominence, and in this episode we talk openly about the challenge he faces to bring Auburn back and how he plans to do it.

Storied swimming coach David Marsh joins us right after helping The University of California win the 2022 Swimming and Diving Championships.
David talks about working closely with his old colleague and friend, Head Coach Dave Durden, what it took to be successful in the 6 weeks he spent there, and what value he thinks he added to their success.
Bryan was part of David's legacy at Auburn when he won 12 Team Titles. They have a close relationship, capped off by Bryan being David's last Auburn Swimmer to be coached in a race- anchoring the 2007 400 Free relay in recording style! They talk a length at what it takes to build a team to glory, as David did with Auburn from 1990-2007.
This is a must see for any coach in any sport, at any level.

Energy Standard Head Coach James Gibson and their Captain, Olympic Gold Medalist Chad le Clos, join for a preview of the 2021 season of the International Swim League.
The ever-changing league has shifted once again and as heads of state for Team ENS, we get reactions from James and Chad on the impact of the draft and how much it helped teams like Aqua Centurions and DC Trident, the rule changes for selecting the SKINS and also why Chad wasn’t able to successfully lobby to have points awarded every 50 in the 200 fly.
The whirlwind continues after an exciting Tokyo Olympic Games - it’s ISL time!

Before she makes the journey to Tokyo, The Social Kick is joined by Australian swimmer and Olympic Silver medallist, Tamsin Cook.

An individual 400m swimmer, Tamsin has qualified for Tokyo in a packed event with the likes of Katie Ledecky and Ariarne Titmus.
After retiring after the Rio Olympics to focus on school and due to an injury, Tamsin has made a Rocky Balboa style comeback in swimming this year. Within 12 months of training, Tamsin has moved from never believing she would swim again to qualifying for her second Olympic Games at the age of 22.
In a discussion about the progression of the women’s 400m Free and the importance of being self-aware and listening to your body, Tamsin talks us through her swimming journey.
Get ready for Tokyo and listen to her story, enjoy!
