We saw Michael Andrew in action at the Westmont Pro Swim, racing 50s of stroke up to the 200 IM, where he placed 3rd. After verbally re-committing to the 200 IM earlier in the meet and showing that his finishing speed is in a good place, the Olympic champion said that his current energy system isn’t quite where he’d want it to be to swim an ideal 200 IM.
If a 2IM was 50fly/50ba/100br he would dominate.
If only there were 150 IM: 50fly/50ba/50br he’ll set WR that will last for decades
Didn’t really need to announce that he cannot finish a 200…
I’m hoping Herbie Behm is able to find and fix some mechanical issue in Andrews’ free (breathing?) and suddenly his last 50 in the 200IM shocks us all. Maybe it’s really just conditioning, but his technique in last 50 in Tokyo looked brutal compared to the rest of the field.
That’s what happens when you’re experimenting with different techniques every month in training.

I was embarrassed for him. He looked like a T-Rex trying to swim freestyle.
Great to hear that he’s enjoying other aspects of being on a solid team. Great to hear the acknowledgement of where he’s at and while not fully stated there feels to be a clear belief that improvements will continue. I hope he gets to where he can feel he can support a 200 at max effort without crashing. We all know the disconnect between his talent and results. Getting past that would just be great to see. The more people that can swim fast the happier this fan is.
Join us lol
solid swims
The jokes really do write themselves innit
Still 3.5 years until 2028 Olympics… he’ll be fine.
I mean he failed to qualify in 2024 so I wouldn’t say his career trajectory is fine at this moment. There’s no reason to panic is not instantly back at his best but he’s fighting an uphill battle here
MA is 6’6, all he needs is some more aerobic capacity to finish the tight races, a bit better technique on his free and his size will do the rest
