Let’s Talk About the Feather: Yeah, That’s a Real Thing 22:42

2d ago22:42

22:42

Most swimmers finish their stroke like they’re just trying to get their arm out of the way—not like they’re trying to move forward. In this solo episode, I’m diving into a concept almost nobody talks about in freestyle: the feather. The feather is that subtle but crucial outward motion at the end of your stroke that sets up a smooth recovery and gi…

Finding Your Place in the Water 58:17

9d ago58:17

58:17

In this episode of the Tri Swim Coach Podcast, we dive into what it means to make swimming more than just another workout—it’s a lifestyle. We talk about the unique quirks of swim coaches (like why we all dress like we just got off a boat), how swimming can be a form of therapy, and why getting in the water isn’t just good for your body—it’s good f…

Breaking All the Rules: How Ryan Stille Got Faster 57:58

16d ago57:58

57:58

Alright, this episode is a wild one. I’m sitting down with Ryan Stille, an open-water swimmer who basically threw front-quadrant freestyle out the window and decided to swim like a normal human. You know, with actual efficiency and momentum not that “pause-and-pray” nonsense that everybody loves to preach. We get into the whole transformation: how …

Stop Chasing Pretty - #167 52:45

23d ago52:45

52:45

So in this one, we spiral—emotionally and professionally. We talk about Top Chef making us cry, why your arms shouldn't be twins (yes, like your eyebrows), and how telling someone “real swimmers go under 2:00” is basically psychological warfare in a swim cap. Also, keyhole pulls? Trash. Gone. Antiquated like floppy disks and landlines. Oh—and one o…

TSC Teaser - #167 Stop Chasing Pretty 4:44

24d ago4:44

4:44

What do eyebrows, shoulder pumps, and Reddit have in common? Apparently… swimming. We get into why your arms shouldn’t be twins, how “failure” might be the best coach you’ve ever had, and why outdated technique advice just won’t die. 🧠 If you've ever thought “I'm not a swimmer”, you need to hear this. 🎙️ Catch the full episode every Monday at 5 a.m…

Rethinking The Freestyle Recovery - #166 33:55

1M ago33:55

33:55

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood pieces of freestyle: the recovery. You’ve probably been told you need a “high elbow.” Maybe you’ve spent way too much time trying to make your recovery look pretty instead of making it functional. We’re blowing all of that up today. I’ll walk you through why the way you bring your arm…

TSC Teaser - Rotation 101: Stop Overthinking, Start Swimming Better 4:57

1M ago4:57

4:57

Think your recovery doesn’t matter? Think again. In tomorrow’s full episode, I’m breaking down why how you bring your arm forward in freestyle can make or break your entire stroke. We’ll talk about why “high elbow recovery” is mostly nonsense, why your shoulder blade, not your elbow, is the real MVP, and how fixing your recovery can unlock smoother…

In this episode, we’re cracking open the chaos that is your freestyle rotation. Spoiler: if you’re flipping over like a damn rotisserie chicken or swimming flat like a pancake, you’re doing it wrong. We break down why 45 degrees is the magic number, how your shoulder blades are secretly calling the shots, and why your kick should not be the engine …

More Kick Talk: Ankles, Quads, and the Smiley Face Line -#164 56:38

1M ago56:38

56:38

Back for round two, and yes—we’re still talking about your kick. Because guess what? It’s still not working the way you think it is. In this episode, we’re diving deeper into flutter kick mechanics: tight ankles, sleepy hamstrings, and the mysterious “smiley face line” under your tush (you’ll know it when you feel it). We’re breaking down why your …

Your Legs Called; They Want a Job -#163 25:35

2M ago25:35

25:35

In this episode, we’re kicking things off (pun intended but not really) with the one part of freestyle everyone loves to ignore: your legs. That’s right—your lazy, sinking, drag-inducing legs. We’re talking all things kick: why “saving your legs for the bike” is a myth that needs to die, how your pelvis and core are running the show (literally), an…

In this episode, we’re talking coaching styles—technicians, therapists, and taskmasters—and what it really means to teachsomeone to move better in the water. We dive into a strange-but-effective drill (nips to hips, anyone?), the myth of the “perfect” catch, and why your swimmers might be soaking you on deck during butterfly. There’s also a solid d…
