Adam Peaty Says Swimming Coaches Are Stuck in The 1980's – We Agree

Night Swim Podcast

Adam Peaty calls out the obsession with yardage over quality training. We break down why "base building", "banking yards", and "taper" jargon still dominate, why coaches are scared to change, and how elite outliers (Michael Andrew, Lily King, etc.) prove you don't need 60,000-yard weeks to be world-class. Real talk on USA Swimming's softness problem.

🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins. Hosted by Dax Hill (NCAA champ, Texas Longhorns legend, high-performance technique guru @Reykli) and Elvis Burrows (Bahamian Olympian, national record holder, founder of Burrow's Best swimmer hair and skin care), Night Swim is unfiltered swim culture — NCAA battles, Olympic tea, training hacks, and pool-deck chaos.
