Great interview Garrett. It’s been awesome being at PSC and watching Roland train, but more importantly watching him interact with the other folks in the Gold group and all of the PSC community.

Great interview. As a swim fan, it’s been awesome watching Roland compete in local AZ meets. I hope he enjoys London and comes back to train here for another 4 years.
