Carson Foster finished his summer as a first-time Olympian and a 2x Olympic medalist. Returning to Austin this fall, Foster is going through a ton of change. His longtime coaches at Texas, Eddie Reese and Wyatt Collins, are now replaced by Bob Bowman and his staff. In his personal life, Foster just married his longtime partner, Meredith, and is now living with her. SwimSwam spoke with the world champion about his whirlwind summer and all the changes he’s adapting to now in Texas.

Austin Carpenter just committed. Texas Sprint entering a new era
Carson looks like he still a freshman! Not a bad thing! Glad he gets so excited about seeing his club coach cheering him on.
Missed an important question:
Quintin Ewers or Arch Manning?
The beginning part of the podcast version on Spotify wasn’t cut out lol
“Do you agree to be on the swimswam podcast?“
„I do“
Kinda funny
Slightly unrelated, but does anyone if Shaine has decided to join Bowman at Texas?
I saw a video from after the Trials but before the games, where he said he was excited to get to work with a new coach, but since then I haven’t seen anything showing Casas has been in the water and the staff has posted several clips showing practice and don’t think I’ve seen Shaine anywhere.
Actually, looking back at it now, Bowman posted a short clip less than a day ago and Shaine’s clearly in the water
This IM training group is astounding. How many elite male and female IMers* (*or, perhaps more accurately, elite swimmers who are competitive in IM races) are part of this training group now** (Marchand, Foster, Casas, R.Smith, etc.)?
(**Or, in Marchand’s case, as of January 2025)
Has BB had a temper tantrum yet and wrote the #’s of other coaches on the whiteboard?
The Bowman jealousy is REAL
Hahaha. That’s not a tantrum – that’s awesome.
I actually think that is kind of a baller move tbh
I wouldn’t mind seeing Carson on the UT roster in January! He could still do it, right?
Eddie, is that you?
He has likely signed an agent at this point and had performance bonuses in his contract which renders someone a pro and ineligible. That may change at some point down the line, but I don’t think it will be retroactively applied. I also don’t think that he has any desire to pursue short course yard racing again and he is better suited for the big pool.
Leon vs Carson in practice oh god YES
Leon is staying in France, at least for now
Leon is expected back in Austin in January
Can you please go do a practice and pancakes with them??!!
Poor guy is learning he has been loading the dishwasher wrong his entire life 🙁
