Episode Notes

After 15 years away from competitive swimming, Liam Bourke is preparing to return to racing at the Reading Masters Championships. In this episode of The Weekly Freestyle Podcast, Liam discusses what motivated him to get back on the blocks, the challenges of returning to sprint racing, and why he wants to lead by example for the swimmers he coaches. He also shares his goals for the coming season and his ambition to continue progressing towards future Masters Nationals competition.

The conversation also explores how swimming has opened up opportunities far beyond the pool. Liam reflects on recent trips to Cape Town and Kenya, the growth of his passion for open water swimming, and his long-term vision of combining swimming, travel, coaching, and content creation. He discusses the experiences that have shaped him, the global audience he is building through Swim with Liam, and how travel has become a major source of inspiration for both his coaching and content.

Alex and Liam also dive into the changing landscape of swimming media, the rise of influencers within the sport, and the opportunities that come from working with brands and organisations looking to grow participation in swimming. From his recent partnership with Nala to his plans for expanding across YouTube and other platforms, Liam shares his vision for the future and how he hopes to continue making swimming more accessible, engaging, and visible to swimmers around the world.

We can't wait to invite him back on and follow his progress. Enjoy the episode!
