    E191: Jono Adam: Preparing for British Trials in Australia

    E191: Jono Adam: Preparing for British Trials in Australia

    Jonathan 'Jono' Adam, is a Bath Performance Centre swimmer as well as a double LEN Under 23 Champion. At the 2024 British Swimming Championships, he will be heading into the 100m Backstroke as the second-fastest seed. He's set to be one of the many hopefuls looking to make the British Swimming Olympic team in the 100m Back and go beneath the all-important Nomination Standard of 53.68

    In an interview on the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, Jono shares why his preparations heading into Olympic Trials have built confidence in a potential 52-point second swim, and moreover, what it's like being teammates and even housemates with some of his biggest competition.

    Key topics Jono discusses on the podcast:
    🇦🇺 Firstly, what was the main focus was on the recent Bath PC Training Camp in Australia.
    💪 Training against Kaylee McKeown, in addition to his hardest set while down under.
    🏁 Why he hasn't had many in-season swims, and then why his confidence comes from a complete training block instead.
    ⭐ Where did his personal best swim at LEN U23's come from (53.45), and more importantly what tactics he will use to replicate and improve upon it.
    🧑‍🍳 How understanding skinfolds and his nutritional input out of the pool has led to improved performances in the pool.
    🇬🇧 Lastly, why it's important he's focusing on his own swim and not those of swimmers around him, like the ever-impressive Ollie Morgan.

    E187 - Previewing World Champs 2024

    It may only be February, but on this week's episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we are previewing the upcoming World Swimming Championships in Doha.

Great company

I’m a 58 year old competitive masters swimmer yearning to get back in the pool. I cant run - tried that in lockdown 1 and hurt myself , so I’ve been walking a lot, especially up hills to get the heart rate up whilst listening to the podcast. You have been such good company during my land based work outs and it inspires me to get out walking in all weathers (after buying all the right kit!). It helps me to focus why I’m walking, sweating and panting a lot up hills! I’m a backstroker is there any chance of a podcast about backstroke and also about masters swimmers getting back in the pool (fingers crossed April 15th) what to aim for and how to build it all up once again? Thanks for the company keep it up.
