I LOVE THESE DAY IN THE LIFE VLOGS

[@hakimbouzina7722]

2:44 . As a club swimmer going to high school meets, it’s really easy to “flex” on them ladies, but now that you’ve exposed me, Ima stay warm and save my muscles for later. Thanks Michael 😂. Btw, we gotta go surfing with Chris Staka before he makes his move to the longhorns!!

[@jakepalmer4690]

Yeah he called us out

[@foolanhi8183]

Love the video, Michael! Thanks for taking the time to make quality content. I do have a question though. Do you know any distance swimmers who use USRPT? My little brother does distance and I’m wanting to give him a source to look into. Thanks and keep doing what you’re doing 🤙🏼

[@benjaminvanvechten5445]

Be as prepared as possible for the meet. That way, win or lose, you'll still feel good knowing you did your best.

[@christianandersen1705]

[@klaulegaspi]

"Having nerves shows that you care" Huh. I've never really thought about it that way. Thank you☺️

[@williamrasoanaivo5381]

I learn a lot through this blog. Michael, how do you emotionally and mentally manage situations like when you lose important races which you were very much expected to win please ?

[@ozankalafat3127]

[@keisukekimura6123]

My coach used to give us 100 push-ups if we didn’t wear shoes at the meet 😂

[@lackofidea]

Very nice video. Thank you 🤗

[@Cfbcalls]

Hey Michael, with you swimming almost every weekend at meets how does this affect your training? And how do you make it so you can swim fast every weekend?

[@presleeingram9933]

bro your my all time fav i love to swim my freestyle was 50m and the time was 29.17 my coach says i should consider doing junior olympics

I just watched your video on lumen and the Comments were turned off so I have a question on my breastroke should I be splitting my best on my first 50 and a 3 second gap between the last fifty

[@sophiadmytruk6752]

[@SwimmingPodcast]

*Great video! I record swimming podcast with people who positively impact swimming and you would DEFINITELY be a great guest! If you want to check out my episodes I recommend the one with Amy Van Dyken or Kara Lynn Joyce!* Keep up the great work Michael!

[@jacklyons2557]

At least you have the decency of looking sleepy in the early a.m. And, not to put too fine a point on it, but one believes having Michaela angry with one would not be a terrifically good idea. Don't eat the last nectarine, knucklehead.

How much faster per 100 is a tech suit than a "normal" 40$ training suit?

can’t measure how much faster it is but makes a worlds difference for both feeling and time

[@mafaldamendes8684]

Soundtrack?

[@benkim2498]

Ayyy i eat coconut clusters thats the crap

[@emmamcvicker173]

I am the total opposite of you, I strongly dislike the shorter races, I feel like they're over too fast. I love the longer races like the 1500m, 800m, and 400m IM just because I get to build my pace throughout the race, and then go fast when I get to that pace. I find it interesting that you prefer the shorter races

[@wahyeet5621]

top 10 fastest
