In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges, Garrett McCaffrey, and Gold Medal Mel Stewart, SwimSwam welcomes both the biggest names in swimming that you already know, and rising stars that you need to get to know, as we break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.
Georgetown is gearing up for “Battle of the Burr II“, a dual meet with fellow Washington DC college Howard University. HU is the only HBCU in the country that supports a swim and dive team and has been since 2016.
Last year, the first edition of Battle of the Burr featured DJs, special guests, and sold 2,000 tickets. Georgetown head coach Jack Leavitt praises Howard head coach Nic Askew‘s vision, turning a dual meet into a fan-friendly “party with a purpose”.
This year, Howard will bring in honorary coaches Cullen Jones (Olympic champion) and Maritza Correia (Olympic silver medalist) while Georgetown will have honorary coaches Kyle Williams and Kamal Carter, the CEO and President of “A Long Talk”, an anti-racism movement.

It’s crazy how quickly tickets for this meet sold out. Checked the website about a month ago to buy some, but they were already all sold out. Haven’t been able to find a way to get any since then. Think this must be the first time (or second after last year) this has happened for an October dual meet between two non-P5 teams
I dont know of any power-5 swimming dual meets that sell out either. Does anyone else?
According to coach Jake and Liberty U media guide, they routinely sell out their bowl seating. Coach Jake has the Dion Sanders effect
Great for all involved. Well done Nic and Jack. I echo Jack that everyone should check out and connect with a Long Talk. http://www.alongtalk.com
Good stuff Jack. Keep it going.
