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 Dan Wiffen, the Irishman who became the #4 performer in history in the 1,500 freestyle this weekend in Stockholm. He discusses what he was expecting out of himself heading into the meet as well as how he has elevated his training over the past 6 months to reflect his performances. Wiffen is at the point where he’s calling out sets to challenge himself (he notes 6×500 on 5:30 best average).
Wiffen makes it clear that now, with only 4 more seconds to shave off, he’s gunning for Sun Yang’s legendary 14:31.02 world record. What does he need to do to drop under 14:31? In his words, “I just need to swim again.”
