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.
We sat down with National champion and Olympic hopeful, Ally McHugh. Ally documents what her training has been like in and out of the water since quarantine began when she was actually on a training trip at the Olympic Training Center. McHugh has become a student of the sport, trying to pick up tricks and tips in any way she can. This includes watching race video of her competitors, like Ariarne Titmus. McHugh describes what her takeaways were from Titmus and how she has implemented them into her training.

Great interview, nicely done Coleman. Unless something has changed drastically, the 1500 free is a timed final. Ms. McHugh seems to be implying there will be a prelim and a final swim for those that make the cut. Can anyone clarify? I was at ’16 Trials; the 800 and 1500 swims were timed finals. Fastest seeds are in the last heat.
Incorrect; there are prelims and finals. There was in 2016, too.
There definitely were prelims for the 800 and 1500. But in both cases, they were in the morning the day before finals, so perhaps that’s what you’re thinking of.
