And, Brooks Curry used his mullet and nose plug to steal the 50 Free championship away from Bjorn Seeliger (who led off the 200 Free Relay 30 minutes later in 18.2). 1.

Australian Kaylee McKeown is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100 and 200 Backstrokes. She is the fastest in history in the 100 LCM Back, 57.45. Last month she dropped 58.3/2:04.6 at Victorian Open Champs. Seeded first going into Tokyo, she pulled out of the 200 IM to focus on her backstroke swims. Kaylee recently made the move to Griffith University to swim with legendary swim coach Michael Bohl where IM is now a major focus. She just learned how to do the back-to-breast crossover turn. This is a technical heavy episode with Kaylee talking about her backstroke catch, training for the 200 Backstroke, how she develops her mental game, how she holds water on her kick, and more.

Keri-anne Payne is a 3x British Olympian. At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, she won the silver medal in the 10k. She went on to win back-to-back World Championships in 2009 and 2010 in the same event. Defending her Olympic title at her home Olympics in 2012, Keri-anne made a rookie mistake and wound up touching 4th by just a few fractions of a second. While devastating, it is also the swim that she hears the most about from fans. "I started swimming open water because I watched you in that race." It's the race she is the most proud of. Keri-anne is the Founder of Triscape (personalized open water escapes and adventures) and Straight Line Swimming (online open water swim coaching qualification). 00:00 Bratter PA, Immigration Law 00:04 Hello Keri-anne Payne 01:00 Bill Sweetenham 05:15 100 Fly 06:24 Dave Crouch 07:38 Sean Kelly 08:20 Open water?? 12:55 Beine Genetic Sports Performance 14:00 Training strategies 16:15 How many 10K's 19:00 The Conflict 22:18 Swim Angelfish 23:00 Breathing in open water 24:34 Sighting 25:45 Crocodile eyes 27:45 Sharks 29:29 Feeding in open water 34:50 Swimnerd Live Results 35:26 Swimming in the Pack 40:10 Touching people's feet 41:55 Pool swimmers 47:50 Communication devices 48:10 World Championships 49:45 Internal pressure 54:58 Destro Machines 55:17 Vasa Trainer 56:45 Any Question Support Our Sponsors: BRATTER PA IMMIGRATION LAW: Exclusive immigration representation of athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, investors, and entertainers.
