My guest today is Kyle Chalmers, an Olympic gold medalist and one of the world's top swimmers. I've featured him in some of my YouTube videos, highlighting his excellent freestyle technique. I'm excited to discuss his training and technique in depth. Tune in now!

01:47 After clinching the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, how did you experience changes in both your personal and professional life? 05:25 Do you have any rules for yourself regarding social media, particularly during competition time? 08:49 How has feedback shaped your career and consistently contributed to your improvement? 11:45 Have you applied the knowledge gained from skill acquisition coaches to work with younger kids and pass on those teachings? 15:25 What contributed to your maturity? Did you develop it early due to the level of competition in swimming, where you joined a team without knowing any of the swimmers? 17:42 Coming towards the end of your career, do you feel like that's given you more freedom to choose the path you want to take? 21:35 Can you share any unexpected benefits or silver linings that emerged from the challenges you faced during your recovery from injuries and surgeries? 23:32 Can you provide insights into your training approach? 25:09 Could you share your experience with aerobic training and explain why you enjoy it? 29:00 Do you hold any unconventional beliefs or practices that might seem counterintuitive to others in the swimming community? 34:56 What are the key factors you consider during your training? 38:39 Are you changing your stroke from 50 to a 100 and then from 100 to 200? 41:04 What motivated you to join Skillest?
