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 Sierra Schmidt, the Michigan All-American who recently moved to Scottsdale, where her parents just bought a house, to train with her father in the lead-up to Olympic Trials. Schmidt eloquently explains that she’s excited to continue her career as a pro, sharing that she believes she’s not done learning the lessons the sport has to teach her.

One of the more cerebral and interesting interviews from a college swimmer that we’ve seen.
Well done!
So remarkably articulate. Well done, Sierra!
Great interview! Mature and unselfish response to her 5th year rejection and how it affects entering 1st year swimmers and future recruits . Interesting that she is going to the center of 5th year participation and red shirting……ASU/Phoenix
I think it is strange she didn’t land immediately at ASU. I guess she didn’t have the best experience with Bob at NBAC?!?
Most of his swimmers don’t have a good experience with him. Look at the poor results at Arizona State and previous jobs.
Who exactly is in his non NCAA programme? I can understand he is not interested in swimmers who can not make world class. Honestly who is?
I guess 99% of coaches should give it up then.
Phelps, Chase, Schmitty. Not bad.
Probably more so that Erik Posegay was her main coach
She’s a product of GAAC before NBAC. Shoulberg and his age group coaches should have plenty of credit for her developmental years before Posegay and Bowman.
Credit for almost destroying her? Truth is her success (world junior champion, pan am games champ, etc.) came after she left the toxic environment of GAAC.
Can’t wait to see how she does at trials and in the future. I could see her sticking around for a while.
loved her response to not choosing to take a fifth year
Good for her!
Will all these people actually make a living ?
And that’s what you got out this interview? #missedthepoint
I didn’t listen . I only know she used to be a 4.08 / 8.28 swimmer once upon a time. That is not going to earn much .
Used to be? She’s been on the national team for the past four years and had best times at the last nationals in 2019. By your rationale a majority of athletes shouldn’t bother either, but kudos to her for giving it a shot.
She was 8:27/4:07 2019 and is improving
