Night Swim Podcast

For the FIRST TIME EVER on Night Swim, we welcome not one, not two, but THREE Black swimmers on the mic — a world record in itself 😂. Olympic silver medalist (100 fly Paris 2024), multiple-time NCAA champion, short course WORLD RECORD holder (47.68 100 fly), and Florida Gator legend Josh Liendo joins Dax & Elvis for an unfiltered, no-PR conversation.

We dive into:

• The real culture at Florida under Anthony Nesty (the OG butterflyer)
• What actually happened with Bella Sims drama & team meetings (Josh keeps it 100)
• Why Caleb Dressel left Florida & the power of coach-athlete relationships
• The rise of Black swimmers — from Jordan Crooks battles to the snowball effect
• Taper myths, high yardage vs explosiveness, and when you can get TOO swole in the weight room
• Growing up in Trinidad/Canada, representing Black excellence in a mostly white sport
• Favorite muscle for the ladies, rom-com vibes, pickup lines (the youth need this game 😂)
• Enhanced Games? LA 2028 plans? And why he's staying focused

Plus chain flexing, roasting Hubert Kos's basketball skills, George Bovell beach warm-ups, and way too much laughing after hours.

Van Mathias (Indiana/John Long) is quietly dominating—new Pro Swim Series records, top US times in breast, and flying under the radar! Dax & Elvis connect the dots: John Long's Queens/Team Elite/Auburn/David Marsh roots = power swimming gold. Why nobody's talking about him, mustache meta roast, and why IU might be the new breaststroke factory. Dark horse for USA teams? We need him on the pod! 🚀🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

Kieran Smith is stacking World Championship teams and medals... but no best times in forever and zero buzz. Dax & Elvis ask the tough question: Is it time to leave Gainesville? We compare his yardage overload to past mistakes, why high-volume distance training can backfire, and why elite freestylers belong at Cal for power/technique fixes. Marketing fail or deeper issue? Mental baseline reset after big success? Brutal honesty.

The Erisman family is taking over! Ryan Erisman (Cal) upset big names like Carson Foster & Luke Hobson for gold in the 200 fly/200 free at Pro Swim Series, while sister Rylee is upsetting vets like Simone Manuel. Dax & Elvis discuss: Is this the next big swim family (like Walshes/Fosters)? Why Cal (David Durden/Marsh influence) is fixing technique and unlocking power. Sibling Olympians incoming?

Simone Manuel admits in her SwimSwam interview: She's never done 7k practices before... until Bob Bowman! She's looking jacked and swimming solid (50 free win, close battles), but is this high-volume madness right for a sprinter? Dax & Elvis debate: Is she exercising or training? Will she crash mid-season like many female athletes on yardage spikes? Sprint vs. IM group mismatch, inflammation risks, and why she needs to stand up for herself. Real talk for Chocolate Thunder! 💪

Katie Ledecky just swam 15:23.21—the SECOND fastest 1500 freestyle in HISTORY—at Pro Swim Series Austin! She's owning the top 12 all-time spots, but Dax & Elvis admit: We're starting to take her dominance for granted like prime Jordan. Is she TOO good for the sport? Elvis drops a $5,000 bounty challenge: Mid-race tea sip + book read + Night Swim shoutout to save swimming's entertainment value! 😂 Would you watch?

Maxime Grousset is cooking! He smashed Caeleb Dressel's US Open record in the 50 fly semis (22.81!) and already beat him in the 100 fly at the 2026 Pro Swim Series Austin. Dax & Elvis go full send: Is this the end of Dressel's fly dominance? We roast the "walking into his house" energy, Dressel's bronze in the 50 fly, his confident post-race interview shift, and why his freestyle technique might be catching up to him. Fans are still ride-or-die—delusional or loyal? 😂

We dive into sponsor ROI fails and why swimming needs to become ENTERTAINMENT. 🔥 What do you think—fixable or doomed? Drop your takes below!
