  • #136: Faster With Age: Rebecca Guy Takes on the Next Generation
    May 19 2025

    World Masters Record Holder Rebecca Guy isn't just keeping up with the next generation, she's rising to new heights to match them. At the recent GB Aquatics Championships in Lindon, Rebecca took on a field of elite teenage swimming stars, including a world junior record holder, and powered her way to a silver medal with a lifetime best performance.

    Rebecca joins Helen Gorman to share what it was like to race against rising stars of the sport, how she achieved a personal best by training for just three hours a week in the pool, and why she believes her fastest swims may still lie ahead.

    She also discusses her work supporting athletes with performance nutrition, offering valuable insights and practical tips for fellow masters swimmers.

    May 12 2025

    How much does it really cost to chase your swimming dreams? Liz Simpson crunches the numbers on Joe Malone’s annual spend and uncovers a surprising culprit driving up his costs - a serious goggle habit!

    Would you pay anything for a personal best, or are rising expenses threatening to price swimmers out of the pool? As costs climb, is there a smarter way to save, or should we just count our blessings that we’re not paying for carbon bikes or golf green fees? Helen Gorman drives the debate to find out if Masters swimming is still worth the splash.
