Ryan Lochte is officially joining Missouri State University as an assistant coach for the Bears — and Night Swim is giving you the unfiltered breakdown.

Dax is back from the hospital (and looking crispy), and we’re going full send on this wild news: Is this a genuine coaching gig, a PR move to clean up his image, a favor for his girlfriend’s family in the area, or straight-up a cushy “no-show job”? We break down the optics, his lack of coaching experience, why Missouri State created the position, and whether top recruits would actually swim for him.

Plus:

• Why this move feels risky on both sides
• Lochte’s Instagram announcement reaction
• Our wishlist for what would’ve actually broken the swimternet

We want Lochte on the pod — comment below if you do too!

Drop your thoughts: Is this a smart move for Lochte or Missouri State?

Dax and Elvis break down the REAL way to unlock a killer dolphin kick – forget the outdated "wiggle from the hips" advice!In this technique deep-dive from Night Swim:

Why teaching from the knees (tuck-extend "inchworm" style) works better for most swimmers than full-body undulation

The massive power in the up-kick (often 50-80% of propulsion – most people neglect it!)

Posterior chain secrets: hamstrings, glutes, and how to use them like pros (Phelps-level undulation)

Common mistakes that kill speed (too much knee bend, draggy full-body wave)

Killer drills: Up-kick-only 25s, fish/whale drill, minnow progressions to feel the full wave

Whether you're working pullouts, underwater dolphin kicks, or butterfly, this will level up your "fifth stroke."

Unfiltered SEC Championships recap on Night Swim Podcast! Dax Hill (Texas Longhorns legend, NCAA champ) and Elvis Burrows break down the "Texas Invite" that is now the SECs. Josh Liendo dominates with 18.4s leads, 43.0 100 fly, relay monster splits — plus the hilarious lane-line "Heisman" celebration gone wrong (who pushed him back?!). We dive into why Texas still can't sprint (Dax spills on his rejected $2k sprint clinic offer), suit inflation making 39s/19s normal(?), Tennessee's Black sprint takeover with Eva Okaro & co. dropping 45s/20s relay legs, and how building around 50/100 free wins conferences & NCAAs (Cal blueprint). Big-picture strategy, no lifeguards, pure pool-deck real talk.

Hosted by @SwimNerds (Dax & Elvis). Night Swim = behind-the-curtain swimming culture, no SwimSwam results recap here.

Dax & Elvis break down the UVA women's swimming team's dominant 7th straight ACC Championship win — crushing Stanford by over 370 points (1410.5 to 1039) and Cal too! We dive into Katie/Kaylee Ledecky's insane distance swims (those sub-15:45 vibes are back), why it's not "just another Ledecky win," and the bigger picture: Is Stanford's dynasty over? What's behind UVA's steamroll era after Stanford ruled with Simone Manuel, Lia Neal, and more?

We talk cyclical nature of college swimming power (Auburn, Texas, Kentucky examples), recruiting snowball effects, fast swimmers eating scholarships, coaching impact (Bob Bowman at ASU vibes), and program identities — like Texas owning the 200 free vs UVA's hodgepodge depth (or lack thereof in some events). Plus, first-ever night swims, freestyle technique from David Marsh, and tips for coaches to challenge UVA by owning an event!

Dax and Elvis break down the 2026 Men's ACC Swimming Championships with zero lifeguards and full unfiltered takes. Freshman standout Max Williamson (UVA) drops bombs in the 200 IM (silver medal, school record vibes) and hits A-cuts to lock in NCAA spots—high school 41.0 sprinter turning heads. They dive deep into whether Todd DeSorbo's style is clicking on the men's side (UVA men finish 7th at 577.5 while women dominate), the masculine vs. feminine coaching debate, and why some programs favor one gender. Shoutouts to Kai Winkler (NC State tall-boy sprinter stepping up), Jeremy Kelly (Dax's old Zones kid grinding through transfers), and Stanford's close 1076 vs. Cal's winning 1154 (fluke or revival?). Classic Night Swim: behind-the-curtain drama, no boring results recaps.Subscribe for more raw swimming talk—hit the bell!

Dax and Elvis react to the insane number of automatic NCAA qualifying times (A-cuts) that came out of the B- and C-finals at the 2026 Women's Big Ten Championships. They discuss what this means for meet speed, qualification chaos, event caps at NCAAs, and whether the new rules are making conference meets paradoxically slower and faster at the same time.

China is shaking up swimming with MASSIVE payouts at the 2026 China Open in Shenzhen – up to $20,000 appearance fees just for showing up, plus $10K for 1st, $8K for 2nd, $6K for 3rd, flights, and hotels covered for top international stars!

In this episode of Night Swim Podcast, we break down why this meet is a game-changer: elite athletes getting real money, fast exciting racing with only the best, fan experiences, autographs, and star power – while USA Swimming sticks to tiny $2K prizes that barely cover travel.

We rant about:

How USA Swimming & World Aquatics are greedy or incompetent

Why they never capitalized on Phelps-level crowds or pushed stars like Dressel properly

The boring structure of most meets vs. China's smart, short, high-value format

Business lessons: spend money to make money, pay for star power, give fans the experience they want

Marketing fails, "funnest sport" nonsense, and why outsiders have to fix this sport

Ryan Murphy is back in the pool training for the LA 2028 Olympics after a year+ break — but is this comeback realistic? In this raw clip, we break down why his weight room focus might be holding him back, why getting "too big" could kill his chances at sub-52 in the 100 back, and why historic swimming comebacks (Dara Torres, Anthony Ervin, Dana Vollmer) are super rare — especially for world record holders.

We debate:

His peak WR time (51.85 relay split / 51.97 race) vs. current young guns like Will McGlothen rising fast

The mental game: Stop chasing your "old self" — build a new baseline

Pilates/yoga + technique greater than more muscle for backstroke speed

Odds: Top 8 at Trials? Top 2 for the team? Or 4th place fade?

If you're a swim nerd, this one's for you — brutal honesty on one of America's greatest backstrokers chasing home soil glory.

Does practice matter more than meets, or do meets matter more than practice? We break down real scenarios: Can crushing 51s in practice for hours make a 51 LCM 100 free "easy" at taper? Why grinding 19.9s for two hours translates better to dropping to 19.0 than endless 51s do for sprinting. The myth of "practice warriors" — kids who dominate practice but disappear on race day. Why simulating meets in practice (suit-up Saturdays, race-pace Fridays) is game-changing.One coach's story of racing EVERY meet one summer... and getting FASTER with LESS training volume. We explore energy systems, race specificity, bringing the meet into practice (vs practice into the meet), and why true elites often underperform in practice but shine when it counts. Whether you're a swimmer, parent, or coach, this episode will make you rethink how you train and race. Drop your thoughts below: Are you a practice warrior or a meet performer? Which side are you on — practice greater than meets or meets greater than practice?

Women are stacking multiple world records - and the men aren’t.

In this Night Swim clip, we dive into why female swimmers currently dominate the world-record leaderboard, why the numbers look wild on paper, and why this isn’t as simple as “women are better now.”

We talk:

• Short course vs long course (aka record inflation season)

• The American college system and strength training cheat codes

• Why the data looks shocking until you actually read it

• Who’s benefiting, who’s getting cooked, and why nobody wants to say it out loud

Welcome to the late-night swimming conversation with no lifeguards on deck and zero respect for bad stats.

Dax and Elvis share Cam McEvoy's frustration and displeasure with the convoluted Olympic qualification rules for the 50m stroke events (50 Fly, 50 Back, 50 Breast). They break down why the 50s of stroke get zero respect — weird time windows, priority spots eaten up by versatile swimmers, and how specificity in sprinting is punished while versatility is rewarded. Is swimming set up to kill the pure 50m specialists? The guys don't hold back.

Everyone says grind yards to build your aerobic base before sprinting… but is that garbage? Dax and Elvis argue the REAL foundation for elite sprinting is learning long, efficient long-course strokes first. Short-course power comes easy after that - but going the other way? Good luck.

Dax and Elvis dedicated a passionate segment to calling for the return of super suits (the polyurethane full-body/high-tech suits from 2008-2009 like Speedo's LZR Racer, Arena X-Glide, and Jaked models), arguing the 2010 ban was misguided and hurt the sport.Elvis's TakeHe led the charge: "We need to bring back the super suits. That's the sentence right there."He called the ban "kind of stupid" because it wasn't truly unfair—everyone could access them (FINA even provided free suits at 2009 Worlds to level the field for poorer countries).He highlighted hypocrisy: Pre-ban jammers cost $120-300; super suits were $400-500. Post-ban, basic jammers jumped to $400-500 for less material (even before inflation).He predicted suit companies are sitting on stockpiles - bring them back to make races exciting again.Personal angle: The suits helped non-floaters (like stronger/muscular swimmers) by equalizing buoyancy, turning swimming into "a black sport" (his words: man-to-man competition without genetic floating advantages).He compared it to running barefoot vs. spikes: Why handicap everyone?Dax's TakeHe agreed fully, reminiscing about how amazing they felt (legs floating insanely high, like being "upside down").He tried exotic ones like the shiny X-Glide and called it straight-up cheating (in a fun way).He tied it to the rumored ban reason: It was the first time Phelps faced real competition (e.g., Paul Biedermann smoking him in the 200 free in a better suit), so the superstar got "superstar treatment."Both laughed about Phelps being "Squidward in the window" watching everyone else dominate in superior suits while he was stuck with Speedo.They said the suits drove massive interest—one crazy summer of 43 WRs at 2009 Rome Worlds alone.Records would reset fairly, then progress normally.They embraced tech evolution (like better track spikes or golf clubs) over "purity."Counter to devaluing records: It was temporary chaos; the market would correct, and fast times = cool sport.As of today (January 2026), there's no sign of super suits returning. World Aquatics updated competition/swimwear regs in 2025 (effective throughout the year and beyond), but they stick to textile-only, no polyurethane/non-permeable materials. Many 2009 men's records still stand (especially sprints/mid-distance), while women's have mostly fallen (due to retaining more coverage post-ban). The debate pops up occasionally in forums/podcasts, but the ban holds firm—no official push to revive them. Dax and Elvis are out here fighting the good fight for chaos and speed, though! 🏊‍♂️💥🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

Dax and Elvis dive deep into the controversial new USOPTC policy banning international swimmers from training at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center starting in 2028 (for the Olympic year). Michael Phelps fired back on Instagram: "What are our goals? I thrived training w/ all athletes. Never discriminated."

The guys break it down: Is this protecting American swimmers or hurting competition? Dax calls it a "half measure" and suggests charging foreign federations big money instead of a full ban. Elvis questions if it'll lead to retaliation abroad and wonders why Phelps is speaking up now when he dominated without much foreign training competition at the OTC.From Leon Marchand smoking records after training with Bob Bowman to the bigger pi

Straight arm freestyle is everywhere — but is it actually fast, or just misunderstood? Dax and Elvis break down the truth behind straight arm freestyle: who it works for, who it hurts, and why copying what you see on TV might be slowing you down. This isn’t a drill video — it’s a real conversation about biomechanics, power transfer, shoulder stress, and why elite technique doesn’t automatically translate to age-group or masters swimming.

Inside this clip:

Why straight arm freestyle exploded at the elite level

The hidden strength and mobility requirements nobody talks about

How shoulder health factors into technique choice

Why most swimmers copy outcomes instead of mechanics

When straight arm freestyle actually makes sense

The College Swimming League (CSL) is being sold as the future of college swimming — athlete pay, better production, simpler scoring, and freedom from NCAA constraints — and in his recent podcast appearance, co-founder Kyle Sockwell lays out a compelling vision for why the sport needs to change, but when the conversation turns to money, accountability, and athlete protections, the answers become vague, especially as the CSL is acknowledged to be financially backed “in the background” by the International Swimming League, a league that still faces unresolved questions over unpaid swimmers, leaving one unavoidable issue at the center of this entire project: how are athletes actually getting paid, who is responsible if funding falls short, and why does swimming keep asking swimmers to trust ambitious new ventures before those questions are clearly answered.

The return of the International Swimming League is being framed as a comeback story, but for many swimmers it feels more like déjà vu, because this is the same league that left athletes unpaid, including Shane Ryan, who has publicly said he is still owed $50,000, and yet instead of settling those debts first, the ISL is now re-emerging and financially backing new projects like the College Swimming League, forcing an uncomfortable question the sport never seems willing to ask: why does swimming keep partnering with organizations that haven’t paid their athletes, how are swimmers supposed to believe they’ll be protected this time, and at what point does “bad timing” stop being an excuse and start being a pattern where ambition is rewarded, accountability is optional, and the athletes — once again — are the ones left waiting to get paid.

The coach resigns, another swimmer steps up saying HE made the comment (not the coach), and the federation is investigating.

Is THIS the moment pro swimming finally levels up?
Dax and Elvis break down why the sport might be entering a true Golden Age, how marketing and personality could’ve changed everything a decade ago, and why swimmers no longer need an Olympic medal to build a real career.

From Roy Burch’s early social media blueprint to the rise and fall of ISL, to how Team Elite, ASAP Miami, and pro groups almost created a rivalry era… this episode dives into the alternate timeline where pro swimming becomes entertainment—and why it still can.

We also cover:

• Why pro swimming ≠ Olympic swimming

• How eyeballs became more valuable than medals

• Why the old guard missed the moment

• What USA Swimming and the next generation need to change

• How Dax & Elvis would build the pro swimming ecosystem TODAY

Dax & Elvis go OFF on why American swimming is falling behind internationally… and the answer is KICKING.

The national-team director Greg Meehan finally admitted it: weak flutter kick + weak underwaters = cooked on the world stage.

Elvis: “Club teams treat kicking like an afterthought — I only got good when college forced me to care”

Dax drops the biomechanics bomb: “Kick from your knees, not your hips. Especially if you’re Black and built like a powerlifter — stop tearing up your quads!”

Real examples: 9-year-olds going 1.11–1.13 for 100 kick, another girl drops from 2.10 to 1.19 in months.

Why Lochte & Phelps ruined the underwater game and made everyone forget how to actually flutter kick.

If you’re a coach, swimmer, or parent tired of watching kids sink — this is the uncomfortable truth the sport doesn’t want to say out loud.

“My prediction is Dressel will be lucky if he makes top ten… If he breaks 22 seconds, he should consider himself lucky.”

• Why Dressel’s recent move may not have helped
• The gap between old-guard sprinters and today’s field

Penny Oleksiak gets hit with a two-year ban for three missed tests… but is this actually a big deal, or just anti-doping politics?

In this Night Swim clip, Elvis and Dax use Penny’s situation to unpack how the drug testing game really works at the elite level:

Why three missed “whereabouts” tests = automatic suspension.

What it’s like to log your location 24/7 for six months at a time.

How easy it is to fall out of the testing pool and quietly use banned meds.

TUEs, prednisone, inhalers, Adderall and other “legal cheat codes.

Why drug makers are 12–14 steps ahead of the testers.

NCAA microdosing stories, miracle injury drugs, and false walls at meets.

Why swimming is probably way dirtier than fans want to believe.

The CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge were supposed to “revolutionize” college swimming…But did they?

Did Ozempic just become the newest performance enhancer in sports?
Dax and Elvis break down whether GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy actually give athletes an advantage — and whether they should be considered a legal “cheat code.”

They discuss Ozempic (semaglutide/GLP-1 agonists) as a potential performance enhancer: appetite suppression for quick fat loss, but risks like muscle wasting, under-fueling, GI issues, and poor recovery.

Elvis mentions a TikTok he did asking if it should be seen as a PED, with comments debating muscle loss vs. benefits (e.g., dropping 5lbs for faster times).

Dax shares his personal experience with ulcerative colitis causing rapid weight loss ("Daxempic"), using it as a disclaimer for his views, and criticizes using it unethically for efficiency over hard training.

They touch on dangers for athletes (e.g., high-volume training on an empty stomach) and why it's "sketchy" for race weight, though okay for medical use like diabetes.🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

Dax & Elvis go DEEP on the current generation of “super suits” – Mizuno GX Sonic, Arena Carbon Air², Speedo LZR Pure Valor 2.0, TYR Venzo, etc. Are these new double-layer, triple-layer, air-trapping jammers actually bringing back the banned 2009 polyurethane era… or is it all just marketing hype?

• Elvis tells the wild story of racing in a 2017 suit that literally kept his dead legs kicking when he was completely out of shape
• Dax explains why he felt ZERO difference between briefs and the newest jammers
• Why every Olympic cycle magically drops “10% faster” suit tech right on time
• The secret double-layer trick that supposedly still traps air (even though it’s “illegal”)
• Are today’s kids breaking records because of coaching, genetics, more Black & Caribbean talent… or because the suits are low-key juiced?

There are more elite Black swimmers in the NCAA today than ever before — and Elvis & Dax are asking the question everyone not-so-secretly wants answered: Where are they all coming from… and why NOW? In this segment, the guys dive deep into:– Tennessee’s roster LOADED with Black sprinters– Florida’s wave of Bahamian & Caribbean talent– Why there were only one or two Black swimmers per state 10–15 years ago– The rise of Caribbean athletes dominating sprint events– Access, affluence, representation, and REAL talk about genetics– Why Black swimmers bring more personality, energy, and culture to the sport– Why swimming desperately needs bigger personalities to grow– How “cool factor” and cultural influence could reshape the future of swimming.

Dax & Elvis go barbershop on ASU's record board: packed with international Olympians like Leon Marchand (France) & Ilya Kharun (Canada) - exactly 0 Americans.Is it fair?

Dax: “USA Swimming's coaching its own demise—why train foreigners to beat us at Worlds?”Elvis (Bahamian Olympian): “If you don’t want an immigrant taking your spot, be better. No handouts!”

We unpack the talent gap, why internationals dominate NCAA, and if it's killing U.S. development. Zero filter, real talk.

Dax and Elvis dive deep into Dressel's announcement of training with Steve Jungbluth at JAX. They break it down hard: he's lost that killer swagger, stuck in limbo with commuting between Gainesville and Jacksonville, half-assing elite training/recovery, and prioritizing "nice guy" vibes over GOAT mentality. Dax calls it out - "He's doing everything right as a nice guy, everything wrong as a killer sprinter" - while Elvis adds he needs to "get that dog back" and even jokes about being his "cupcake" sparring partner. They tie it to broader athlete mindset stuff, like being selfish to reclaim dominance (deadlifts and verts aside).

Dax and Elvis dive deep into the controversial Enhanced Games – the TRT-fueled meet paying swimmers millions while World Aquatics watches from the cheap seats. Is it a greedy publicity stunt, a much-needed wake-up call for pro swimming pay, or the ugly basketball-style grind the sport desperately needs? From $200K salaries to questioning who was really juiced back in the tech-suit era, the boys hold nothing back. Clock it. 🕐💉
