This week on the DFL Swimming Podcast, we break down all the major storylines from last weekend’s midseason meets. We open with the Tennessee Dual Meet Challenge — a promising but still unfinished product — and dive into how timeouts, scoring confusion, and UVA’s strategy shaped the meet’s overall optics. From there, we take a full tour through midseason action: We highlight standout performances across Minnesota, SMU, UGA, and OSU, including big swims from Luca Urlando, Elliot Woodburn, and Ethan Ekk. We also reflect on broader trends: are midseasons are becoming intentionally low-key, and Herbie’s vision for a more meaningful midseason format sparks real conversation.
