World Champ Marrit Steenbergen Finding Success with Stints of Swimming 3 Days per Week

Marrit Steenbergen had a heck of a 2025 season. At the 2025 World Championships in Singapore, she touched first in the 100 free, defending her world title from 2024. Then, to end the year, she won 6 gold medals in Lublin at the SC European Championships, where she also set 5 European records. Steenbergen joins us to discuss her big year and her new training style that has brought her success so far. While she's in the water 8-9x per week during much of the season, she's started the last two seasons by only swimming 3 days per week (5x within those three days) and focusing on building strength outside the pool. 0:00 Marrit Steenbergen Introduction 2:55 Short Course European Champs 24:36 AUS vs The World 33:45 Clinic in Oman 37:20 Normal Training Week & Focus 41:08 Swimming 3 Days per Week 48:02 2024 Paris Olympics 51:00 2025 World Champs 54:25 2026 Event Focus & Schedule 58:05 Training Group
