In episode 3 of Black&White Swim Talk, Elizabeth Beisel (2011 World Champion-400IM, Olympic Silver&Bronze Medalist, 18 time NCAA All-American, 20 time All-SEC) joins the show to show off the best head of hair in the swimming universe. Elizabeth discusses which ice cream flavor makes it all OK, how she’s preparing for a shot at her 3rd Olympic team, and gives her best Gregg Troy impression.
Meanwhile, Elvis and JMax play a game of toss-up and debate which coaches are more annoying, which SwimSwam trolls are the most frustrating, and whether being suspected of using performance enhancing drugs is actually worse for your career than getting caught using them.
Justin Max and Elvis Burrows were teammates at the University of Kentucky from 2006 through 2010.
Since graduating from UK, each has continued to be involved in the swimming world. JMax has coached both club and high school swimming for the past 5 years, and has had state champions at each level, as well as Junior and Senior National qualifiers. He is currently serving as the Head Age Group Coach for a club team in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Elvis has continued his swimming career professionally and internationally. He is a Bahamian national record holder in 4 different events, and has represented the Bahamas at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and many other international competitions, most notably World Championships and the Commonwealth Games. He is currently training for the 2016 Rio games.
Long time listener, first time commenter. Love the series. Would love a bizzarro episode where J Max rocks a white v neck.
