Heading into 2024, Kate Douglass had pretty much everything one could have on a swimming resume: NCAA champion, American record holder, and world champion. In Paris last month, she added Olympic champion to that list. When the competition was over, Douglass walked away from the 2024 Olympic Games with 4 medals, 2 from Team USA relays (gold, silver) and two individually from the 200 breast (gold) and 200 IM (silver).
Listen to Douglass’ experience in Paris and her plans for swimming moving into the fall with short course meters on the horizon.

Interview w Alex next? 🙂
Her times convert to 2:14.63 in the 200 breast, 2:00.29 in the 200 IM, 53.79 in the 100 fly, and 23.13 in the 50 free. I too am looking forward to her swimming SCM this fall.
However, Gretchen Walsh converts to 22.61 in the 50 free, 49.76 in the 100 free, 1.51.25 in the 200 free, 24.53 in the 50 back, 53.39 in the 100 back, 24.14 in the 50 fly, and 52.63 in the 100 fly, so I am looking forward to her more. That would be WR in all the events mentioned except the 200 free, including by .5 in the 100 free, .75 in the 50 back, .3 in the 50 free and fly, and almost ONE AND A HALF SECONDS IN THE 100 FLY AND BACK!
She did what Amanda Beard did win the 200 breast and silver in 200 Im, but a better freestyle a silver in the 4 x 100 freestyle and a gold in the 4x 100 medley in prelims on freestyle.
Conversation with Regan one day, convo with KD the next. Bro is living my dream
Kate Douglas was very very close to winning the 200IM. Summer Mcntosh had a really gutsy swim. Still gutted for Alex for that DQ… Great interview!!!!
Coleman is doing such a great job that Melvin will likely need to give him 25% equity in the SwimSwam LLC to reward his brilliance.
Kate is wonderful. (She’s using a halo light — good job — a professional through and through!)
This comment brought me joy this morning. Thank you!! Glad you like the interviews.
So impressed with how many interviews you are cranking out!
Now, if you could somehow get an interview with Pan Zhanle…
We’re working on it… my fingies are crossed🤞😬
These interviews are killing me (with happiness). First thing I do in the morning is listen.
