  • This podcast is for all types and levels of swimmers!

    As an adult that learned how to swim only a few years ago, I have learned to appreciate the way Brenton can motivate me to improve as a swimmer and an athlete by explaining things in ways I can clearly understand, and also by having a lot of great guests on this podcast. The topics have included the mental aspects of swimming, nutrition, as well as hearing from other coaches and their approach to how to help people become better swimmers. Highly recommended!!
