About this listen

The TYR Summer Championships are here, and we have some hot takes. Bryan and John break down everything from the solo swims in the C finals to the most unexpected performances of the night.

In this episode we discuss:

The Solo Swims - When only one swimmer shows up to a final...is there a name for that? What's the longest solo swim you'd be willing to do? We get weird on this one.

The Return of Caeleb - Is Caeleb Dressel's mojo back? A discussion on the 50 freestyle, what it takes to dominate the race and why strength training is a double-edged sword.

Mustache Magic - Is there a correlation between facial hair and speed? We break down some of the most memorable mustaches in swimming and why a stache might be a swimmer's best weapon.

The American Swimming Network - Does the USA swimming network have a problem? The gap between the production of high-level meets versus the low-level production of a meet like this one.

Let us know what you think in the comments! What were some of the most surprising takeaways from night one? What do you think a "solo swim" should be named?
