Great interview…wish they would have touched in on Rex’s big upcoming decision, to use this summers taper for High School State or go all in for the USMS Spring National Championships, taking place in his back yard.
Everyone is talking about the 100 IM natty record, 48.96, and if Rex can augment his training to take a shot at it.
Most important, how was video editing used to augment Rex’s statement that he went to Stanford despite his Uncle?
Masters Nationals? What? lol
😈
Yeah he’s a good kid and all but ridiculous that he got a podcast before funniest and most attractive man on Stanford campus, Luke Maurer. Rex can swim fast, but he’s never made 4 women fall in love with him at the same time. Keep working hard Rex. Not easy being the younger brother!
keep cluckin’ big chicken
Such an awesome interview! Rex is a fantastic young man. Looking forward to watching him race at Stanford next year, and glad that he’s coming back to PA – where he belongs. PASA will definitely be there to cheer you on.
Alto > PASA
Check any meet result since they broke off and you’ll see it’s clearly the opposite… smoke and mirrors!
PASA is a club excellence loophole. No way that many independent businesses should be able to represent one USA club.
Its backwards the way USA swimming rewards giant conglomerate teams when they aren’t doing anything special.
PASA > Alto
Good luck to you, Rex.
I was one of those people you mentioned at the beginning of the podcast who talked to you on the pool deck when you and your brother were youngsters. I remember you as a friendly, outgoing kid.
I wish you some fast swimming on The Farm!
Rex is a class act all around…not only does he swim fast but he is so kind, wicked smart and Stanford is very lucky to have him join his brother Luke at Stanford…amazing guy!
