The short course season has officially kicked off with a bang! Dan and I are joined by Matt McNichols, live from the World Aquatics World Cup tour, to break down all the insane action from Stop 1 in Baku. We dissect Egor Kornev tying Kyle Chalmers' legendary 100m Freestyle World Record (44.84) and share a mind-blowing behind-the-scenes story about Cam McEvoy's turns!
We also dive into Marit Steenbergen's relentless versatility, a massive shock in the Men's IM from Luke Barr, and the staggering times coming out of the Aussie Short Course Champs from distance legends Sam Short and Lani Pallister.
Plus, stick around for major UK Swimming news: Kent dominating the incredibly loud National County Team Championships, and the massive calendar shake-up with the new AP Race COMAST Manchester Open clashing with the traditional Edinburgh International!
