Regan Smith and Kate Douglass combined for 14 medals, 8 world records (9 unofficially), and $261,000 in earnings at the 2024 Short Course World Championships. Both swim stars came on the SwimSwam Podcast to debrief their historic performances.
the circle lights reflecting on coleman’s glasses are a nice touch
Kate should totally take a page out of the Regan-medal-give-away-book and send one of her medals to Coleman as an award for maxing out on the ‘Unintentional Comedy Scale’ with this gem:
“Psst…Kate and Regan…. just between us and the internet…. what did you get your mothers for X-mas?” (paraphrased of course)
No shade toward Coleman’s great interview. This was the legit highlight.
Come on Kate… Colman deserves the medal more than the box in your parent’s attic!!!!!
Nope!
I’m so grateful for this website. It’s so cool to hear from all these athletes, who seem like such awesome people. When I was a kid you’d just thumb through Splash magazine. Another great interview, Coleman!
Well thank you, kind of you to say 🙏
Love Regan’s “double-whammy” — no WR, but only one drug tested on medley relay. Kate’s discussion of what USA Swimming provides (flushing, nutrition, ice baths) good to know. Clearly it is time to replicate the pool and setup!
Claire Weinstein to Allison Schmitt is an excellent comparison.
I’m not sure about giving away medals. Think long term. These medals may not mean anything to them now but 20s can be rather pathetic perspective, as those of us much older have come to learn. Once it’s unfolding as such a famous meet you would think there would be greater grasp toward the significance.
Nah, I get it. I like that Regan keeps one from each meet, that feels like a good way to still have a memento from each one but not just a closet full of medals.
I feel like I’ve heard of a lot of swimmers giving away their medals from “minor” meets to kid volunteers at that meet, it’s sweet
So Australia is irrelevant again…..
Wait, Reagan is commuting back and forth between ASU and Texas? Any further details about that split?
She’s basically just been splitting her time between the two (and Asia because world cup) this fall. She will eventually be in Austin full time but didn’t want to rush leaving Tempe
Lots of details on the Unfiltered Waters podcast
So happy these two continue to be generous with their time and candid with their insights. That’s true of all the athletes who do all the interviews and podcasts. The joint interviews with Kate and Regan just make it stand out more to me that they don’t need to do this, but that they choose to, and I really enjoy the insights and candor and what it can do for the sport and the fans.
I really liked hearing Kate talk about feeling the waves in the medley relay. I wondered about that. Regan’s take on swimming fly in the mixed medley was fun too.

Yeah, how about “I’ve never done a relay exchange”, wow.
