Swim moms are experts at tracking everyone else's sleep, food, nerves, entries, schedules, and splits. But who is tracking ours?
Renee and Rochelle talk honestly about swim-mom mental health and why putting on your own oxygen mask first is not selfish—it is infrastructure. They unpack the never-ending group chats, meet-weekend stress, bleacher comparison, and pressure to be everyone's soft landing, then share practical ways to care for yourself without turning self-care into another chore.
Also in this episode: Golden Goggles winners, the College Swimming League's first two matches, Anna Moesch's freestyle double, a quick Asian Games close-out, and Swimmer of the Week Henry Palfy of Streamline Aquatics Club.
