I just want to hear about some swimming!

If you want to hear about swimming, go somewhere else. If you want to hear about fashion shows, horse racing, and marriage proposals, this is your show. about. I want to hear about the swimming.
review boy.

Pretty good

I really enjoy the episodes on the ncaa and the swim scribe appearances
Iluvkeefe&swimming

Great podcast!!

I love this podcast and swimswam! I am a swimmer and love all the interviews you do with swimmers! Their advice is great!! Thank you!!!

Great show, terrible theme song

I really like this podcast, and love that there is swimming podcast that frequently releases episodes. Appreciate all the commentary around the Olympics! I definitely prefer the commentating of Mel, Yanyan, and Braeden over the swim scribe guy (although he’s not bad, I just find him to be less interesting than some of the other guests.) However, the theme song for the podcast is absolutely awful. That is my #1 complaint. My other mail criticism is that the interviewers are often very “soft” on guests and shy away from tough questions. Although that might be a result of swimmers refusing to go on the podcast if they know they might be faced with tough questions

WHERES THE FOOD AT

No food???

Mixed quality

Some episodes like the recent Bella Sims one are just sneaky advertisements for brands such as Speedo, which really brings down the journalistic integrity of the podcast. The breakdowns and general news episodes are good overall though.

Sound quality needs improvement

I’m very interested in the topics, but so many of episodes have such poor sound quality that I turn it off (especially episode 1,051).

YanYan brought me back

I am a YanYan STAN - more from her, please! Really enjoying the more recent content.

Hateful

How could anyone believe that having a trans woman compete with biological women is fair? When wokeism is over, everyone will realize just how much you HATE women
