Podcasts have really exploded onto the scene and are a great way to motivate you before or during a workout. Simply turn it on and listen. Below are some podcasts I’ve enjoyed lately and have been recommended to me several times. Each of them cover swimming technique and how to better improve your stroke. Others also dive into wellbeing, health and motivation by parthnering up and interviewing some of swimmings greatest figures!
Swim Smooth

The hosts of the podcast are Adam Young and Paul Newsome. They interview athletes that are at the top of the swimming game. However, they also talk with less known individuals who have a positive outlook on the philosophy of swimming.
This podcast will not only help you improve your efficiency in the water but it will also inspire you to look at the future differently. Great words coming from great people might be just what you need.

Tower 26
Triathlon Swimming with TOWER 26 was created by Triathlon’s go-to swim expert Coach, Gerry Rodrigues, and USAT Certified Coach/Professional Triathlete, Jim Lubinski. I myself have been training using Gerry’s swim programme for years now and it’s really brought my swimming on by miles and miles. These podcasts help triathletes and open-water swimmers alike get the most return out of their swim preparation by covering all the essential topics and ingredients that are necessary to make us all better and safer swimmers. And as you know at Tekrapod, safety is key!
