Charlie Clark & David Johnston on World Champs, Crazy Distance Sets, and Learning from Each Other
Team USA distance swimmers Charlie Clark and David Johnston know each other well, having raced since juniors and now against the best in the world. Today they join us from Melbourne, Australia ahead of the Short Course World Championships, where they’ll team up and go for a USA 1-2 finish against the likes of Italy’s distance legend Gregorio Paltrinieri.
Both are coming off steady progressions to the elite level, Charlie having represented USA at the 2022 Long Course World’s, and David recently setting the American Record in the 800 SCM, good enough for 4th-fastest all-time. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to swim as fast as these guys do for as long as they do, listen.
Might make your head explode. Ours did.
Enjoy!
