  • Absolutely the best

    I have been listening since the beginning and have never been disappointed by Missy, Katie or Beisel. They are all such legends in the sport. They know how to bring a smile to anyone’s face with their fun loving personalities! I love how they get to know each swimmer so personally. And, to them if they are reading this, please get Lèon Marchand and Ilya Kharun on!
