This week on The Weekly Freestyle, things get a little wild (and slightly horse-related). We kick off with the bizarre tale of Simon Cowell nearly getting run over by a horse — yes, really — and wonder if that’s the universe telling him something.

Then we ask the big question: is Jan Olbrecht, the legendary swimming stats guru, actually a wizard in disguise? 🧙‍♂️ We break down the myth, the science, and the spreadsheets.

Tom takes us on a chaotic journey through Gatwick Airport, while I put his Italian to the test ahead of his weekend races at the iconic Sette Colli International Meet in Rome 🇮🇹. How’s his vocab holding up under pressure? Let’s just say… mamma mia.

From elite meets to equestrian near-misses — it’s all happening on this week’s Freestyle. Tune in, laugh a little, and swim on.

Series 7 of The Weekly Freestyle continues, the boys dive headfirst into Drowning Prevention Week, spotlighting lifesaving messages and water safety tips everyone should hear.

Meanwhile, Tom’s got his sights set on Singapore 🇸🇬, we break down his key session testing and how things are shaping up ahead of World Champs

And for the first time this series… it’s quiz time. The boys go head to head in a battle of brains, banter, and buzzer pressure.
