WATCH: Coleman’s Carpool with Michael Andrew (Pt. 1)

In our world today, everything is documented. We seek candid, honest media about the people we look up to in order to get to know the real “them”. At Swimswam, we seek to bring you just that. We want to get to know swimmers inside AND outside the pool, and we want to share those moments of our sport’s best personalities with you.

So we invite you to come take a ride.

In Coleman’s Carpool, our new video series, we get the insider’s perspective on your favorite swimmers. Our head of production here at Swimswam, Coleman Hodges, invites swimmers to take a ride with him and talk about anything… except swimming!

It’s a relaxed, comfortable environment where riders can kick back and chat about who they are as people, not just swimmers. From hobbies to school work, life goals to family goals, we’ll discuss those aspects you don’t always get to here in the post race interview.

This week I met with the youngest Pro in the history of the sport, Michael Andrew. We discussed a myriad of topics on our way to go meet his family for lunch, but right out of the gate I had to hear about his experience traveling to the World Cup meets this fall. I would think it fascinating to be a 17-year-old kid getting to travel internationally to several different countries to compete… and Michael didn’t prove me wrong.

Hop in!

Very cool format. Nice job. Just wish it was longer, more of an interview. Looking forward to more of these.

I only have one problem with this article… “I had to here about his experience traveling to the World Cup meets this fall.” I believe that would be “hear,” not “here.” 😉

Can we get more Michael Andrew articles/videos? I don’t think he’s covered enough.

Easy there, tiger. The series had to start with someone. It’s not as though they made the series for MA, there are going to be other swimmers on it. Maybe Tom Shields had something else going on and Michael happened to be available at the time, who knows?
