Episode 17: Swim Plateaus - When "Stuck" Isn't Stuck

Early short-course times can feel stuck, and sometimes that is completely normal. Renee and Rochelle break down what a swim plateau really means, why September times do not define the season, and how to tell a normal training rebuild from a real red flag. They also cover the early-season meet-entry scramble, the proposed TEAM USA Act, the new College Swimming League, Lehigh men's swimming's suspension pending a hazing investigation, Golden Goggles nominees, Yu Zidi's 200 fly performance, and this week's Swimmer of the Week: Kaylee Alana Matos of the OCY Tigersharks. Plus: Favorite Things, Swim Mom Confessions, and the reminder every parent needs before comparing an early-season swim to last spring.
