In the 15th episode of Spindrift Beck’s podcast entitled Swimcerely With Spindrift, Beck talks with Olympic gold medalist Rebecca Soni.

Ever wonder what it might feel like to have a mental freakout the day of the most important swim of your life?

Ever wonder what it felt like to be the first woman in the WORLD to break the 2:20 barrier in the 200m breaststroke?

Ever wonder what an Olympic podium ready room feels like? (spoiler alert: lots of trading makeup and sharing 1 small mirror with your fellow Olympic medalists)

Ever wonder what multiple Olympic Gold Medalist and World Record Holder Rebecca Soni thinks about her career now? How she dealt with the retirement and what she channels her goals and energy into currently?

This is the podcast for you! REBECCA SONI joins Swimcerely with Spindrift, y’all. She’s funny, she’s fast, she’s extremely inspirational whilst simultaneously pulling back the curtain of the “Olympic” mystique that so most of the swimming world never gets a chance to peek behind.

Swimcerely with Spindrift is a podcast that showcases conversations with high school, collegiate, pro, and Olympic swimmers’ about their likes, dislikes, career, goals, and more. Each episode centers on a different swimmer, giving a behind-the-scenes look at what makes these athletes tick and, in some cases, what separates them as some of the best swimmers in the world.

“My favorite podcasts are ones that feature actors, writers, and comedians speaking not just about their craft but about their favorite restaurants, TV shows, telling funny stories, etc. With 2016 fast approaching, I wanted to try to bring that sort of format to swimming, so that fans can have a new type of unfiltered access to their favorite swimmers. The show is meant to be off-the-cuff, goofy, and a little different. Hopefully people will enjoy!” – Spindrift Beck
