Dax and Elvis break down the REAL way to unlock a killer dolphin kick – forget the outdated "wiggle from the hips" advice!In this technique deep-dive from Night Swim: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

Dax & Elvis break down the massive talent gap in NCAA swimming that's leaving most teams in the dust.

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!

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?

For the FIRST TIME EVER on Night Swim, we welcome not one, not two, but THREE Black swimmers on the mic — a world record in itself 😂. Olympic silver medalist (100 fly Paris 2024), multiple-time NCAA champion, short course WORLD RECORD holder (47.68 100 fly), and Florida Gator legend Josh Liendo joins Dax & Elvis for an unfiltered, no-PR conversation.

We dive into:

  • The real culture at Florida under Anthony Nesty (the OG butterflyer)
  • What actually happened with Bella Sims drama & team meetings (Josh keeps it 100)
  • Why Caleb Dressel left Florida & the power of coach-athlete relationships
  • The rise of Black swimmers — from Jordan Crooks battles to the snowball effect
  • Taper myths, high yardage vs explosiveness, and when you can get TOO swole in the weight room
  • Growing up in Trinidad/Canada, representing Black excellence in a mostly white sport
  • Favorite muscle for the ladies, rom-com vibes, pickup lines (the youth need this game 😂)
  • Enhanced Games? LA 2028 plans? And why he's staying focused

Plus chain flexing, roasting Hubert Kos's basketball skills, George Bovell beach warm-ups, and way too much laughing after hours.

Van Mathias (Indiana/John Long) is quietly dominating—new Pro Swim Series records, top US times in breast, and flying under the radar! Dax & Elvis connect the dots: John Long's Queens/Team Elite/Auburn/David Marsh roots = power swimming gold. Why nobody's talking about him, mustache meta roast, and why IU might be the new breaststroke factory. Dark horse for USA teams? We need him on the pod! 🚀🌙 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.

Kieran Smith is stacking World Championship teams and medals... but no best times in forever and zero buzz. Dax & Elvis ask the tough question: Is it time to leave Gainesville? We compare his yardage overload to past mistakes, why high-volume distance training can backfire, and why elite freestylers belong at Cal for power/technique fixes. Marketing fail or deeper issue? Mental baseline reset after big success? Brutal honesty.

Simone Manuel admits in her SwimSwam interview: She's never done 7k practices before... until Bob Bowman! She's looking jacked and swimming solid (50 free win, close battles), but is this high-volume madness right for a sprinter? Dax & Elvis debate: Is she exercising or training? Will she crash mid-season like many female athletes on yardage spikes? Sprint vs. IM group mismatch, inflammation risks, and why she needs to stand up for herself. Real talk for Chocolate Thunder! 💪

Maxime Grousset is cooking! He smashed Caeleb Dressel's US Open record in the 50 fly semis (22.81!) and already beat him in the 100 fly at the 2026 Pro Swim Series Austin.
