The Longhorns have won 10 NCAA Championships in Eddie’s 25 years at Texas and he says something special is brewing down in Austin this fall. We saw a glimpse of that at their Orange and White meet last Friday.
In this interview with Garrett McCaffrey, Eddie talks about some of special things happening in the training pool, including a set they did the week before their blazing fast intrasquad meet. Eddie is known for never repeating workouts, but he will do some sets multiple times per year to see where his swimmers are at. This set of broken 500s is one of those.

I really love this interview Garrett, thank you. I can always listen to Eddie Reese talk about training.
It was an honor to swim for Eddie; I think anyone who’s ever done even a single workout with him can attest to his engagement, enthusiasm and the individualization of his workouts. And, while yes, he does not repeat workouts, his jokes are another story 😉
I agree with Pat on the jokes reference.
Thanks Eddie for the great insights! Nice interview Garrett!
Agreed. I was lucky to swim for him…… and so is my son.
Oh snap is your son clark?
“I have never looked to make anything easier”
Swimming world will lose a great coach and a great character when Eddie finally decided to hang his speedo’s.
His swimmers and anyone who knows him love that man. About his practices… he never repeats them because he makes them up every day; based on where each swimmer or group is at, or how they feel that day, etc.
He will coach for sure for Jack Conger years… His replacement will not be Kris Kubik who will retire when Eddie retires. Here is a link to possible Eddie’s replacement that insiders are talking about.
