The SS Podcast Episode 1: Dan Plews (Kona Age Group Record Holder)

Yes it's here: After many requests over the years we've finally released the very first Swim Smooth Podcast to the world!

Swim Smooth founders Paul Newsome and Adam Young will be interviewing fascinating guests from around the swimming world and discussing in depth how to improve your swimming through better technique, training and open water skills.

We have a little more time on a podcast than in a blog post to explore some of these subjects in a bit more detail - and can't wait to share that insight with you.

In Episode 1 we have a special interview with the phenomenal age-group triathlete Dan Plews, who just set the FASTEST EVER age-group time at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships:

As you'll discover, Dan's a brilliant athlete but also a leading Sports Science PhD conducting important research in the field of endurance sports. Not only does he have an extensive knowledge of preparing for endurance sports but he has an ability to put that knowledge in easy to understand advice for you to follow.

Paul and Dan have been lifelong friends and share a few stories from their very early days in the sport in Yorkshire. In fact Paul's been helping get Dan's swimming back on track and wrote his swim program for the build up to the race. Want to see Dan swim and how he got in such good swim shape? Watch Paul's analysis of his stroke here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYkFRXgztlM

(Video analysis sessions are fascinating to watch but what if you could get a Swim Smooth Analysis on your own stroke? Well you can too using one of our highly trained Swim Smooth Coaches: swimsmooth.com/coaches)

Is Dan the perfect guest to kick off our new Podcast? We think so! Listen here:

We're still finalising our sound-recording setup so our apologies if Dan is a little quiet on the recording vs. Paul.
