Really admire him. Wish more swimmers would get real job while still swimming. Real life isnt just going to practice every day & having the rest of the day off to sleep and rest. Way to go, Mr. Stuart, you’ve also got an awesome job!!

Dosent ‘pro’ indicate he makes money from swimming? He is more of a post grad than a pro.

I hate to tell you that most pro-swimmers don’t make money from swimming. They make money from ‘bonus’ and ‘camp money’.

Respect to the athletes that stick with the sport after college. While also juggling a regular job.
