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.
We sat down with NAG record-holder and surprise breakout star of the Speedo Winter Jr Champs, Ilya Kharun of the Sandpipers of Nevada. Ilya takes us through his evolution in the pool and with the sandpipers, shedding light on his monumental drop from 1:56 to 1:42 in the 200 fly in the 2021 calendar year. He also discusses his commitment to Arizona State and training with the Sandpipers’ top group, including a set they did recently, 60×100 on your choice of interval, Ilya choosing 1:02.

I wonder what his target was.
Great creativity behind the set. What is the objective of this type of set?
As a master coach once said: if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.
Is this more creative?
2x through:
3x [2x {3x100s @ 1.02
………..{2x100s @ 1.02
It’s got all sorts of creative brackets and rounds and stuff.
He should stay with Sandpipers through 2024. It worked well for Sullivan
He’s still a very long way from being a medal contender as she was, and Erica would have started college sooner if there hadn’t been a coaching change at SC. Erica also had 2 of the best training partners develop in a way that is no guarantee for Ilya.
He chose a college program that really values LC and competing at an international level. At the end of the day, if making an Olympic team is his number one goal, it’ll probably be a conversation he’ll have with Ron. For now, suggesting that he do that is premature.
Dude dropped 14 seconds in a year. I expect him to master time travel by 2024
we do 100x100s @1:00 every sunday at practice, SCM here in italy
No, you dont
Old School. I was a pure speed guy, and the proudest moment of training career was breaking 60 minutes in a 6000 race! Love hearing about sets like this.
Ron Aitken
Master Club Architect.
child’s play. I did 6×50 on 1:00. One round. Ascend 1-6. Start easy and see how slow you can go while still making the interval.
One time on taper, our coach had us do 2×25’s as slow as you could go while still maintaining some forward momentum. The team record was a 1:17. Actually really hard to swim that slow and still move forward
Emiliano llano 2:14.00 50 free LCM at pan-American masters. I think it is impressive at 91 but a 96 year old went 47.63 at the same meet.
Sandpipers is a great team.
