I sat down (virtually) with the most interesting distance swimmer in the history of distance swimming, Bobby Finke. We talked World Champs, the greatest 1500 race I've ever seen, what it's like training with Katie Ledecky, trash talk, and more
Hope y'all enjoy the podcast, it's my first go at this form of content so still a lot to learn, but if y'all enjoy it let me know in the comments and I'll keep trying to line up guests

We used to have "Swimming World" back in the 70's and 80's. When you made it their, you knew you were legend.

Yeah and swim swam comments just trash people with predictions and are usually so off base 😄

@nightflyer3242 10 ай бұрын

Even MP reads SwimSwam comments. I know because he uses the word "piano" on his NBC commentaries whenever swimmers fade in the last 50.

I love how Bobby talks about wild sets and times so casually bc they’re normal to him but to us they’re insanely difficult

@PunchUp01 11 ай бұрын

I've said it before, this is what we need. USA Swimming had pre and post shows for the Olympics, hosted by previous Olympic swimmers but they never translated those to year round KZfaq shows. We need swimmers talking to swimmers about swimming...which includes reminiscing about Dragon Tails.

@olexy.skrypnik 11 ай бұрын

This is actually really good! Man you are definitely onto something. I love the idea of casual conversation with swimmers. Not sure if there are any other podcasts, but in comparison with SwimSwam interviews which feel too introvertish, even when the guest is really outgoing, this one is so casual and chill and conversation seems to be so natural that is never painful to watch. Well done Kyle.

Also 8:22 LCM from ledecky and sub 9:00 1000 SCY from Finke are just mind blowing times to do at the end of a workout!

@captianchase 11 ай бұрын

really fun interview, if you ever release these interviews as an audio podcast please let us know. I'd subscribe to a podcast feed of interviews like this in a heartbeat. As it stands really the only other similar podcast content is SocialKick (recent/current swimmer interviewing current swimmers). I enjoy the BH and Swimswam podcasts but they fill a different niche than this

Great interview. Interesting to hear what was going on in the ready room prior to the 800 prelims, watching the earlier race and seeing what time was likely needed to advance. Would like to know if he is considering Worlds in Feb 2024, or if any other swimmers (especially non-NCAA) thoughts about that meet leading up to the Olympics. Would he swim the 400IM there if given the chance?

Bobby swam against my son in just about every other weekend for the 500 and mile when they were in high school. My poor son had to be happy with second place everytime😂. They used to go down to SPA for long course practice and I remember the day he passed my daughter and she was like who the heck is this little kid whipping past me?!😂 It’s so great to see how successful he’s been. He’s got the talent and passion and that doesn’t come along often. Can’t wait to watch him again in the Olympics.

Bobby could totally go 1:46.0 in the 200 free! He’s not giving himself enough credit. His best is a 1:51.19 from this year at the Atlanta classic meet. The first 200 of his 800 he split 1:52.83! So if he goes out 25.4/ 27.0/ 26.9/ 26.7 that is a 1:46.0 right there

@peenhead9938 10 ай бұрын

That "not caring about a race" mindset is dangerous in a good and bad way. If you are relaxed and just send it you are probably going to swim fast, but if you are too relaxed and don't have the adrenaline you might be flat. Kind of like Usain Bolt, he looked like he didn't care about the race at all at the starting block, maybe because he knew he was going to win, but he looked 100x more relaxed than every other sprinter, and generally sprinters feel like they need to get psyched up to swim/run fast.

sorry to be that guy but 1500m is not a mile Kyle. Idk if you've got your reasons for calling it a mile instead of a fifteen hundred but I just wanted to make sure you knew that a mile is 1600m not 1500m

Brother its just a coloquialism thats how swimmers talk. 1600 m isn't a mile either. 1650 yards isn't a mile. A mile is 1760 yards or 1609 meters. Stop being all high and mighty about it.
