  • Awesome

    I’m a swimmer and love swimming, im glad the underrated swimmers are getting heard since swimming is an underrated sport with only a few getting recognised (like Phelps). But I do like this podcast and hearing their training and stories, keep it coming.

    (If Michael Phelps or Thorpe was in the show I’d cry😂)
