Day in the Life Training with Olympians at the US Olympic Center with Ryan Murphy and Dave Durden

Follow as I swim with US Olympians this week such as Ryan Murphy, Bryce Mefford, and Head Coach Dave Durden at the US Olympic Training Center. The day in the life takes you through a day as an NCAA Swimmer on UC Berkeley's Men's Swim Team as we are on our winter training trip.
In this video, I take you around the US Olympic Training Center as we have two practices, weights, dorm tour, 5 trips to the cafeteria and more with the Cal Swim Team so make sure to stick around.
Go Bears!

what I really dig about swimming is that people are always polite, probably because they're just too exhausted to pick up an argument or a fight lol

[@KyleMillis]

Hahah I’ve never heard this before but this is great

[@xXlGhostFreaklXx]

haha I agree never once in my swimming days have I had any beef with other swim teams except my own, & it wasn't really beef excactly but it was just some annoying stuff some did but I'm not gonna let that get to me if I get back into the sport

Love to see the work that goes into this! It's very reminiscent of the early Cody Miller vlogs: that goes to say you've got a great thing going here!

What an awesome video! I could totally relate to your comments after afternoon practice: immediately after finishing the practice “that was hard”. Up on deck for a few minutes “that wasn’t too bad”. We are suckers for punishment as we keep coming back but we know that the only way to get better is through hard work. Hope the rest of the training camp went well. Go Bears from Sweden!

My friends were laughing at that, it seemed like I contradicted myself but it wasn’t that, it was hard in the moment… but after it wasn’t too bad

This is really inspiring stuff. I just got into swimming more seriously this week, so its great to learn how elite athletes like yourself train (I used to sprint track in school 100m/200m). Interestingly I noticed just how uniquely adapted the elite swimmers body shape is as well with a longer torso and shorter legs. Myself I am 5'8" but have the leg inseam of someone who's 6'1" (32.5 inches) i.e. the complete opposite of the long torso body shape. It will be interesting to see how my body adapts over the next 2 years of swimming consistently! thanks for your content Kyle!!

Most realistic meals in a day in the life vlog that I’ve seen aha. Most guys post themselves eating a small bowl of cereal and then two meals for the whole day. And I’m thinking there’s no way that they’re able to maintain their weight eating that little while working out so much

[@KyleMillis]

Haha ya I had to be realistic, I didn’t have much food to work with and why lie to people about something so silly! The food at otc wasn’t the best in the world, but it was what athletes eat

[@jimmyjohns1998]

Hey Kyle, I'm a real fan of the channel and a regular viewer. I have a question with my freestyle stroke, my 100 free time is 1:02 long course which I think should be quicker and my team mates are beating me whilst being around the same age (even though I am smaller atm). I regularly get beaten during pull sets and I feel that I'm falling behind a bit in races in general. I can do 15 pullups so I have reasonable strength. I feel that I have a Early Vertical Forearm and feel that I have a reasonable technique. What do u think I need to improve on? I know it's a bit hard to pinpoint but just any tips would really help thanks. I'm 14 btw

[@sepatnil7993]

you can cut a lot of time by bettering your kicks under water, and by breathing less. Also ask your coach to maybe film you swimming freestyle so that you can have a look together with your coach on your stroke both over and under the surface. This is just some things i did to improve my time, espicially trying to lower the amount you breath + not breathing the first stroke after your turn is going to cut you some time.

[@sebastianwindt8883]

@jimmy johns I can relate :) don’t give up the dream :)

[@tarunkurkal326]

Nothing helps more than swimming, especially racing itself. Race as often as you can. Maybe challenge your friends to race after practice. It's helped me drop 4 seconds on my 100 breast this season(went from 1:16-1:12).

[@KyleMillis]

Great question! I might be able to help with that in a future video where I help answer questions

[@Velleder]

@@sepatnil7993 I disagree, I think breathing is very important for your muscles during a 100 free and you should get as much oxygen as you can especially in the first 50. Although to get faster you need to regulate your breathing and make it as smooth and efficient as possible to go with your stroke rhythm. You also shouldn’t breath off your breakout stroke.

Completely depends on the university and their level. Lots of people can swim in college as there are lots of opportunities. It’s hard bc it’s not always about speed and as much as what the coach needs on the team

Kyle, would you say that Bellevue Club is the best swim team in the PNS? I'm looking for a team after high school season ends, and apparently you swam for BCST, so I was just curious

[@KyleMillis]

Good question. I think the best swim team depends on each individual swimmer and what they want out of the experience. I swam on Bellevue Club for the great coaches and teammates that I had (All of which, Head Coach and swimmers, are gone now), so it might have been the best then but it might not be the best fit now, it totally could be though! I have nothing but great things to say about that team so I'd suggest you at least check it out.
