Kaylee McKeown on her backstroke technique, mental game, and taking aim at IM

[@Lcruz2627]

Brett is the best swimming interviewer I ever heard. As an American, I can humbly say Aussie swimmers like McKeown are carrying the sport to new heights. I love to see it.

Much appreciated lionel

[@nickw4999]

She’s great. Open, confident, fun and fast. Would love to see her in the IMs internationally and i’m sure she could crack a good 200 free if needed for a relay ala Steph Rice in Beijing.

[@cooldumpy7913]

she went 1:57.76 in april last year, but could still feasibly miss the final at trials

[@vijayrego7238]

I love how humble and sweet Brett is. He is himself a former Silver medallist at World Championship / Olympic level and an acomplished coach, but comes across as a down to earth and classy human being. Kaylee is simply awesome and a fabulous talent. Looking forward to seeing many more great performances from her in World's and at Paris 2024.

Brett is really the best guy(i love swimsuitguy content too!)i love the way you go through the details it remained me when i coached a french age group swimmer (Mary ambre moluh)who will become for me a backstroker superstar.you re a machine brett!congrats .salim from paris

[@InsidewithBrettHawke]

I appreciate that

[@SM-hm9ux]

Appreciate the content man, keep up the great work.

[@InsidewithBrettHawke]

you're gunna love this one

[@absidyabsidy2727]

Would be cool to see the Kaylee McKeown/Regan Smith rivalry for years to come, both in the backstrokes and maybe even the IMs! also I think Summer McIntosh was the youngest swimmer at the Olympics? i could be missing someone

[@wastedcentury1805]

Great job. There's nothing more irritating than a terrific athlete being questioned by a bubblebrain interviewer with nothing but canned simplistic questions. Brett actually listened and adapted. I also appreciated the Vasa ad with the devices angled diagonally against the pool. I've often thought there should be experimental swimming races of that type, like Shaun White in the halfpipe.

[@InsidewithBrettHawke]

maybe an exercise in the xgames

[@caioswim]

Very confident like you would imagine the best in the world being

[@robertlarsen6530]

Brett is a total stud

[@beasmith3649]

Kaylee is such a talented, confident and articulate young lady. Brett is such a good interviewer, they should get you on the hosting panel in one of those games. Tired of hearing Rowdy being biased on NBC lol

[@cayleyguimaraes9672]

She is fun. Great talent.
