Bryn Greenwaldt has taken the road less traveled in college athletics, foregoing to specialize in one sport and putting her efforts into both swimming and high jump. This went on full display when the Augustana University junior not only competed at both NCAA Championships in the same day, swimming prelims of the 100 free before going to the track to compete in the high jump and then returning to the pool for the 100 free final, but finished in the top-8 in both of her events that day. Greenwaldt also broke the NCAA DII record in the 50 free in prelims, her 21.92 marking the first DII athlete to ever break 22 seconds, before winning her first national title in the final.

How Bryn Greenwaldt Became a 2-Sport NCAA All-American in 1 Day

The best kicker in college swimming
 
Quintin McCarty, the 2025 ACC 50 freestyle champion, could be looking to sign NIL deals in two sports if the Wolfpack football staff needs any help in the kicking game. While swimmers are getting more athletic every year, we don’t often hear about swimmers with hobbies that could potentially unlock legitimate opportunities in other sports. Turns out, Quintin is pretty dangerous with the right leg. The takeaway: high performers enjoy the process of trying, failing, learning, repeating - and this might apply to their primary field (swimming) or any other activity. 
 
But for now, Quintin McCarty is focused on swimming, and that is great news for swim fans. Recently winning his first conference title, Quintin went personal bests in all his events at ACCs and is primed to rack up some points at NCAAs for the Pack. 
 
Quintin thinks he’ll still be in great swim shape for the next 20 years too. So, watch out Masters records once he’s done wreaking havoc on the college and international sprint game.

Quintin McCarty - Fastest Swimmer in ACC - Episode 235

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to analyze the strokes of over 8,000 swimmers and triathletes, ranging from beginners to elite professionals. Throughout this experience, I've discovered the key factors that set fast, efficient swimmers apart from those who struggle to improve. In this video, I'll be sharing the most valuable lessons I've learned from analyzing swimmers of all backgrounds worldwide. I'll debunk common myths and misconceptions often heard around the pool deck and reveal what truly makes the difference between a smooth, efficient swimmer and someone battling their way through the water.  1:07 Strava Is A Lie 02:47 Ignore Most Advice 04:01 Most Adults Overthink  05:28 Swimming Is Not Running Or Biking 06:27 The Harder You Try To Force Speed, The Further Away It's Going To Get 07:01 Confidence Comes From Seeing Small Improvements  08:24 Your Catch Is The Same In All Your Strokes 09:04 Look At The Things That Will Actually Move The Needle 12:36 We Are Own Harshest Critic-Nobody Cares 14:08 Swimming Is As Much Mental As It Is Physical 15:37 Swimming Is Like Watering Seeds 16:49 From Aerobic To Muscular To Aerobic  17:43 You Just Need To Do The Work 18:21 We Need Reminding Of Things More Than We Need To Learn New Things 20:31 Focus On Fundamentals 21:16 It Will Take Longer Than You Think  

#370 : I Analyzed 8,000 Swimmers—Here’s What Actually Makes You Faster with Brenton Ford

What if you could go from struggling at 2:20 per hundred to cruising at 1:55? Today's guest, Fraser Hill, did exactly that, and he's sharing exactly how he did it. Fraser started swimming as an adult, dabbled in triathlons, and eventually found himself diving deep into the world of technique, training, and open water swimming. From joining an effortless swimming camp in the Maldives, to refining his stroke using simple but powerful cues, Fraser has transformed not only his speed, but his entire approach to swimming. In this episode, we talk about the key changes that made the biggest impact on his speed. The mental battles of open water swimming and how small tweaks like fixing body position and connecting the stroke led to massive breakthroughs. If you've ever felt stuck in your swimming progress, Fraser's story will give you some practical takeaways to help you break through your own barriers.  01:48 Swimming Background 04:25 From 2:20 to 1:55 06:42 You Need Someone Else Giving You Feedback 09:48 Small Changes, Big Differences 13:19 Openwater Swimming 18:29 Next Big Improvement 27:06 Drills 31:48 Advise For Swimmers Who Are Struggling To Break The 2-Minute Mark

SwimSwam sat down with Camille Spink, who won the Commissioner's Trophy at the 2025 SEC Championships for scoring the most individual points, sweeping her individual events. Spink became the first athlete since 2007 to win the 50, 100, and 200 free at a single SEC Championships. The Tennessee Vol takes us through her eventful meet, highs and lows, and gives her rationale for why she doesn't like the word "Taper".

Sabrina Parr is not your average coach. With a relentless focus on discipline, mental toughness, and accountability, she’s challenging the way her athletes train and think about their own potential. She has a no-nonsense approach to coaching and she pushes athletes beyond their limits to discover what they’re truly capable of.“Well, thank you for receiving it in the way that I was trying to present it because there were quite a few people who didn’t understand it. And I know that I’m not for everyone and everyone is not for me.

#419 Be a Dog, Not a Puppy: Lessons from Coach Sabrina Parr

Chlorinated Claire Curzan comes clean about crushing kicks and coaches tricks. In her first year competing for UVA, Claire Curzan, an Olympic medalist and World Champion looks to be on peak form heading into the college championship season. Already an NCAA champion from her freshman season at Stanford, College Claire picked up right where she left off, breaking the NCAA record in the 200 backstroke in-season, building excitement for what may come at her first ACCs.
The machine at Virginia keeps rolling.

Claire Curzan Keeping Virginia Rolling - Episode 233

Cal Poly just had its swimming &amp; diving program cut. No other sport at the school was cut. The school president says it will take $25 million to reinstate the program. Current Cal Poly swimmers Jen Reiter and Sabrina Bell joined us to share about the situation they find themselves in, how it came to this, and to ask for help. While scholarships across the nation are being slashed, cutting entire programs is not what the sport needs. Plus, San Luis Obispo is awesome. The facilities are great (2x 50m pools). The team had a good year under interim staff. Would be a real shame to lose this one.
