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.
Aaron Peirsol has seven Olympic medals and still holds the 200 backstroke world record, 1;51.9. He has wisdom and insight to share. He unpacks that in this SwimSwam podcast, a part of our ongoing Olympic coverage bringing you stars to provide a deeper point of view on each and every event. Peirsol details the United States’ long successful history in backstroke, going back to the 1976 Olympic Games and John Naber. Peirsol also allows us into their tight, inner-circle. They talk, they lean on each other, and they provide support to the next rising star…whoever that may be. I hope you enjoy it. Peirsol is great company and conversation on any topic.

Loved this point from 25:50:
“it’s good to root for the people you’re competing against… think about what it is to be a good sport… you’re bringing out the best in yourself but you’re asking those around you to bring out the best in themselves too… that should make you better, that shouldn’t make you fearful…”
one of several great moments in here, thanks fellas.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in passing one time, and I always wanted to be able to sit down with him and just talk. He seems like a really good man.
He’s pure zen…..a rare magical human-being….
Great conversation. Even better perspectives on the burdens these athletes are carrying.
Also, Pierson is aging like a fine wine. What a cutie. 😍
ha….agreed, re: fine wine…
Legend of the sport and so cool guy. Big fan of Peirsol.
….such a nice guy, easy company, and good conversation. He’s in Hawaii, up with the sun at 6am to have a chat. From my experience, the more time you spend with him, the nuggets of wisdom shakeout. His swim IQ is off the charts.
