After the Pro Swim in San Antonio, SwimSwam drove an hour north to Austin to see what Eddie Reese’s longhorns were up to leading into the 2022 US World Champ Trials. On this Wednesday, the taper workout was simple: Eddie gave you a number, and you got to that number. For most of the guys, it was somewhere between 3k-4k. We talk with a lot of the guys about how did they get their yardage in, including Carson Foster, Maxime Rooney, Shaine Casas, and David Johnston.
The most entertaining part of practice, however, was the trash talk between Casas and Johnston. IF Casas ends up going to the US Summer Nationals in Irvine, then the duo is set to race in either a 400 free or 400 IM, both parties betting on themselves to take either race.
Johnston would wreck Shaine LCM
Love the dude who didn’t know his number. “You had one task…”
“I’m done with tapers. You screw up your own.”
What are the Dimensions for the pool?
There are 5-50 m lanes and 5-25 yard lens
It’s an odd shaped pool, kind of like a P. When set up for 50 meters, you have five lanes of 50 meters and then another five lanes of 25 yards. All running north south. You can change the pool over to short course and run 10 lanes of 25 yards east west, with an additional 5 lanes of 25 yards in the north part of the 50 meter.
Strange but I guess if space was limited not bad
From what I can tell (the couple SS vids shot there) it’s right by the TSC and space was VERY limited. Amazing that the pool got built; it was at least rumored way back in the late 1980s when I trained there as a teenager.
aTm tat, horns cap
Love this one! So fun!
david johnston copied ldyia jacobys smile change my mind
1:02 – Katz, he still swimming?
I know it’s not him, but that might be his cap
That’s his cap but I’m 99.9% that isn’t him. I heard that he was done swimming.
I think that is BCharles.
