MERRY CHRISTMAS, SWIMCERISTS! (Is that an acceptable fan name? Does this show have fans? lololol). Today, Pan Am gold medalist Katie Meili<\/strong> gets swimcere! The Columbia grad joins the show to talk about being a self-described average age-group swimmer, the factors to which she credits her evolution into one of the world’s best breaststrokers, and her current life as a professional swimmer. Spin and Katie also reminisce about capture-the-flag related childhood injuries, a shared love of Texas Age Group Swimming, etc. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD PODCAST<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Swimcerely with Spindrift<\/strong> is a podcast that showcases conversations with high school, collegiate, pro, and Olympic swimmers\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy 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!\u201d \u2013 Spindrift Beck<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
