Night Swim Podcast

The Night Swim boys are back with another packed episode covering swimmer agents and managers, college swimming, controversial taper theories, race strategy, and technique! Dax and Elvis discuss whether swimmers really need agents to manage their careers or if they should focus on building their own brands first. They break down sponsorship opportunities, social media marketing, and why athletes need to create value beyond simply winning medals.

The boys recap the latest UVA meet, including Gretchen Walsh’s incredible short-course 50 freestyle world record, Kate Douglass’s strong performances, and Jordan Crooks making noise in the pool. They also share their thoughts on the College Swimming League (CSL), praising its exciting atmosphere, creative production, and efforts to make swimming more entertaining for fans.

Plus, the debate gets heated as the boys discuss Summer McIntosh’s claim that she was over-tapered for the Pan Pacific Championships. Is over-tapering a real issue, or is it simply a matter of training, rest, and preparation? The conversation continues with Cam McEvoy’s short-course meter performances, where the boys break down race strategy, pacing, and why committing to speed early can make all the difference.

And, of course, the boys revisit why Night Swim Is Always Right, reflecting on their past takes and predictions. The episode also dives into technique, speed development, and the importance of training with a clear purpose rather than simply chasing more yardage.

From swimmer sponsorships to controversial coaching decisions, league innovation, and the details that separate good swimmers from great ones, this episode is full of strong opinions and swimming analysis you won’t want to miss. Tune in for another honest, entertaining discussion from the Night Swim crew!

Tune in for a candid conversation about where the CSL is now — and where it needs to go next.

In this episode of Night Swim, we dive deep into one of the most important—and most overlooked—parts of swimming: technique.

Dax and Elvis discuss why technique should come before endless yards, why bad habits can become permanent when swimmers are rewarded for them, and why coaches should consider front-loading technique work early in the season. From the pitter-pat freestyle kick to body position, the catch, crossover, and flip turns, this conversation gets into the details that can make a real difference in how a swimmer moves through the water.

They also talk about coaching accountability, parents recognizing when their swimmers aren't progressing, and why coaches need to judge themselves by the development of the entire group—not just their best swimmers.

Plus, real coaching experiences, private lessons, swimmer development, and what it takes to put yourself on the line as a coach.

Build the foundation. Fix the technique. Then build the speed.
