Today on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast  I am joined by Nick Hope  who is a champion British Masters Swimmer and a renowned Sports Journalist. It was so enjoyable chatting to him, while he shared his unique perspective from both angles.

How does a successful freelance journalist, who follows the big sporting events round the globe - think Olympics, Paralympics and World Championships - fit his own masters swimming training into that schedule? Where and how does he train and what is the secret to his success?

Juxtapose onto that story, the wonderful experiences he can share from pool deck in his interviews with many champions of swimming from around the world, and I think you will find many gems of advice in Nick's discussion on this episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast

While everyone is feeling inspired by the wonderful swimmers hitting it out of the ball park at the Commonwealth Games, let's hear from a masters swimmer from the Commonwealth - British masters swimmer and world record holder - Amanda Heath.

Amanda was so generous in sharing her insights into her training and racing, and the strategies she employs - both physically and mentally - are so very useful for all swimmers to hear and implement into your own training. Amanda specialises in races 200 and above, and has her WR in breaststroke and individual medley.

Anyone one up for Amanda's favourite set of 5 x 400 IM at training today?  Have a listen into this episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast while we discuss this and lots more about masters swimming in the UK.

Can we learn from elite and professional swimmers in our sport? I believe we can! And today's guest on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast shares many insights from that very vantage point.

As Janelle Elford, she shared in the dominance of Australian middle distance freestyler's of the late 80's and early 90's, culminating in a gold, silver and bronze medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland.  As Janelle Pallister, she coaches alongside Michael Bohl on the Gold Coast working with the high performance swimmers from Griffith University - the likes of Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown and Mack Horton to name a few - and is currently on the Swimming Australia coaching team in Birmingham for these Commonwealth Games. She is also mother and coach of up and coming Australian swimmer Lani Pallister, who scored a bronze in the 1500m in Budapest last month.

So as you can see, Janelle has a truckload of experience to share with us from a swimming and coaching point of view. She is humble, down to earth and I have a feeling the swimmers she works with admire her perspective.

Swimming entrepreneur and masters swimmer champion Rob Kent joins us in this episode of  Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast

Hailing from Toronto Canada, we had a long ranging chat about Rob's swimming, first as a Canadian National Swimmer, his epic open water swim races as a masters swimmer and the training he does in the pool. Lay over that, his founding of the L.O.S.T. swimming group, which sparked him to start the Global Swim Series and due to Covid, has now pivoted into the inaugural Race the Legends camp and race later in the year.  And as a little side project, he was General Manager of the Toronto Titans ISL Team.

This guy loves swimming! In the ocean, in lakes and in the pool. Rob's passion for H2O comes through in each word he speaks, and I love that he has the same passion for promoting participation in open water swims as he does for the elite swimmers in the pool at ISL.

Listen in to this great chat with this legend of swimming. You will definitely take something away to help with your own swim journey.

How can you swim a super fast 1500m race, whether that be in the pool or in the open water? And what should you be doing at training to increase your chances of posting that fast race? 
US Masters Swimmer Kelly Palace, shares all this and more in this episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast

Not only is Kelly a FINA #1 ranked swimmer in long distance events, she also hosts the successful Champion's Mojo Podcast where she talks to champions about their "mojo"! It was delightful speaking to another female podcaster and discovering what inspired her to start the podcast and hear about the lessons she has learned from interviewing champions over the 165 episodes she has produced.

It is always exciting to chat to a fellow swimming tragic and I absolutely loved hearing about the nitty gritty of Kelly's training, coaching and life in one of the mecca's of masters swimming, Florida.

Oh, and Kelly gives us some great advice about overcoming a swimmer's shoulder injury. So much valuable information here for every masters swimmer.
