E161 - Leah Crisp: Transitioning from Pool to Open Water


Listen Later

In this latest episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we sit down with Leah Crisp, an incredibly talented distance swimmer from the Bath Performance Centre, as she takes us on a deep dive into her swimming journey.

After the disappointment of missing out on the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, Crisp has decided to chart a new course and fully immerse herself into the world of Open Water and 10km marathon swimming, leading to her selection for the upcoming Swimming World Championships in Fukuoka 2023.

Crisp opens up about the intense training regimen required for such epic distances and the critical role her coach, Jamie Main, plays in keeping things interesting and fun during their solo training sessions. We also discuss her successful forays into the Open Water Cup competitions, dissecting the experiences and crucial takeaways from those events.

In a surprising revelation, contrary to many international swimmers, Crisp also shares why she's got her sights set on the Doha 2024 World Swimming Championships, fully embracing the challenges and excitement that come with open water competitions.

Finally, we shed some light on the brief hiatus the Propulsion Swimming Podcast recently took and announce our exciting new partnership with Speedo. We discuss what this means for our coverage of British Swimming and the enhanced content our listeners can look forward to.
