World Record FRENZY
7/3/202637 min
The Propulsion Swimming Podcast is back to catch up on a truly staggering couple of weeks in the swimming world!
With the summer's major meets rapidly approaching, we are seeing world records shattered and in-season times that frankly shouldn't be possible right now. We dive into the unbelievable 50m and 100m Freestyle World Records from Kate Douglas and Marit Steenbergen, and pay massive respect to Sarah Sjöström’s incredible post-partum return to the pool.
Plus, we look at Leon Marchand shaking off the rust with a blistering 4:04.96 in the 400 IM at the French Elite Championships, David Popovici tearing up Sette Colli, and a new American breaststroke threat emerging at the Indy Pro Series.
On the British front, Angharad Evans continues to prove she is a force to be reckoned with after dropping another phenomenal sub-1:05 at the Scottish Open ahead of the Commonwealth Games.
