SwimSwam Podcast: Jay Friend Talks Developing National Talent in Montana

On SwimSwam Podcast, we’re giving you an in-depth listen at all things swimming. Host Coleman Hodges welcomes guests and guest co-hosts alike to get perspective on our ever-changing swimming universe and break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.

Friend walked us through his swimming background, from swimming at an NAIA school and having a great experience to falling into coaching. In Missoula, Jay was the head coach to, among others, Katharine Berkoff, the standout who is now a sophomore at NC State.
