Really admire him. Wish more swimmers would get real job while still swimming. Real life isnt just going to practice every day & having the rest of the day off to sleep and rest. Way to go, Mr. Stuart, you’ve also got an awesome job!!

Dosent ‘pro’ indicate he makes money from swimming? He is more of a post grad than a pro.

Respect to the athletes that stick with the sport after college. While also juggling a regular job.
