Join the Propulsion Swimming Podcast as we sit down with USA Swimmer, Hunter Armstrong. Fresh off his second relay gold medal at the Paris Olympics in the 4x100m Freestyle, Hunter opens up about the challenging road he's faced over the last 12 months to victory.

He shares his struggles with getting out of bed in the lead-up to the US trials, where for 3 out of 5 months he would be consistently missing practice. Despite considering quitting the sport, Hunter persevered.

Even with two Olympic golds under his belt, Hunter doesn't view them as his peak. He's determined to address what he perceives as "failures" in his individual events, particularly the 100m Backstroke.

Will the backstroke remain his focus moving forward? What does the future hold for his swimming career? We delve deep into these questions in this raw and honest podcast episode.

On this week's episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we are joined by the RNLI and Black Swimming Association (BSA).  

The RNLI and the Black Swimming Association (BSA) have joined forces with the shared goal of reducing drownings by influencing improved safety on and near the water. By working together they hope to reach as many people as possible of African, Caribbean and Asian heritage in the UK and Ireland, with vital water safety messaging, which has been proven to save lives.   

We discuss with Seren Jones (BSA) and James Woodhouse (RNLI) the work to two organisations are doing together to reduce drowning, the summer safety messaging of float to survive,  and the research being conducted to disprove the theory that black people have heavy bones and can't float.

On this week's episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we are talking to Wycombe District swimmer, Adam Barrett.

Having represented his country with distinction, including winning Gold Medals at the 2014 European Championships and Commonwealth Games, Adam Barrett is the British record-holder in the 100m Butterfly (Short Course). He retired from elite swimming in 2017, only to embark on one of the more inspiring returns to the top tier of swimming that included a Master's World Record along the way. 

He completed his return to the elite level of the sport in 2021 after being selected to swim for Energy Standard in ISL, and will be representing England at this summer's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham

We speak to Adam about how flexible he's had to be in his training while returning to elite swimming, his tips for training during public swim sessions and his expectations this summer.

On top of this, we also talk about his current adventure as a head coach of his local swimming club, how he inspires his swimmers without comparing them to his own achievements in the sport and what advice he'd give to other former swimmers just starting out on their coaching career!
