In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges and Gold Medal Mel Stewart, SwimSwam welcomes both the biggest names in swimming that you already know, and rising stars that you need to get to know, as we break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.
I sat down with Olympic champion and distance machine, Mack Horton. Mack is one of the most relaxed guys I’ve had the pleasure of talking to, often cracking jokes and laughing throughout the interview. He’s also able to laugh at himself quite a bit, admitting where he’s made mistakes during his long swimming journey.
We dissect and discuss and myriad of topics, including preparing for the 2016 Olympic Games (and his subsequent victory in the 400m free), his thoughts on ISL, distance training with Gregorio Paltrinieri, why he won’t be swimming the 1500 competitively anymore, and his reaction to Sun Yang getting handed an 8-year doping suspension.

congrats on content like this. Met his parents once. They were just lovely too.
Agreed! Swimmers are a world community, underappreciated for all the dedication & L O N G hours they put in. SwimSwam & especially content like this helps us appreciate ourselves & each other & the journey. And a special shout out to Coleman, which I didn’t do yesterday, so making it right now.
Great, fun & informative interview. Thank you SwimSwam. Like Coleman, I was not expecting Mack’s answer about Sun Yang, but it is excellent. Keep at it Mack!
Totally blew me away. Mack was such a fun guy to speak with. His answer about Sun was certainly not what I expected, but is what one would expect from a class act like Mack
Agreed.
