In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges, Garrett McCaffrey, 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.
SwimSwam sat down with Beata Nelson, who is coming off of a big win as the overall champion of the 2022 FINA World Cup. This was the first time Nelson had competed in the world cup at all, but it didn’t take her long to get her feet wet, literally or figuratively. Nelson won the 200 back and the 200 IM (always both on the last night) at all 3 stops, plus notched 3 more wins and 3 2nd places finishes over the course of the series. Nelson explains how she was able to learn from and maintain her performances over the course of the 3-meet series as well as how the financial earnings will help her career in years to come.

I don’t really know what I’m talking about about the swimmers got tied up with something legal when the ISL started and this is not that different.

I’m sorry, what?
Yeah, you don’t know what you’re talking about about.
I love random babble that makes no sense. My brain wasn’t working that well today with work tasks, so it’s good to see I’m not alone.
World Cup winner should get all expenses paid trip to short course worlds 🙂
Yeah cmon man top 20 men and women get automatic entry into the SCW meet. Seems like a no brainer and give some swimmers a little extra reason to attend.
The distinctive specifics of World Cup is that it comes at the point of the season when swimmers are not at their peak form.
