Rex Maurer is coming off of the meet of is career, going 6-for-6 in lifetime bests across freestyle, backstroke, and IM events. This was highlighted by a 4:04.45 in the 500 free, which broke the hours-old American record set my his Texas training partner, Carson Foster. Maurer gives perspective on why he left Stanford to come to Texas, what training with Bob Bowman is like, and how the longhorns look to approach the rest of the NCAA season.

I believe he’s America’s answer to Leon Marchand. He’s an animal in practice and he’ll be key in 2028 Olympics in the 4×200 freestyle. The 500 translates well to the 200 meter freestyle.
How tall is Rex? He mentioned he wasn’t big like Alexy and Hobson, but he doesn’t look small.
he’s tall (though not Alexy-tall) but one of these things is not like others
He’s tall, probably around 6’5-6’6 but, more of a Yannik Agnel build than Hobson and Alexy.
Awesome cover photo, he looks like the Terminator!
Well spoken. π€πΌπ€ π
I wish Rex great success in the coming years. He comes across as thoughtful and articulate. I remember seeing him and his brother hanging around Avery pool when they were youngsters: heβs come a long way. Leaβs got to be very proud!
Another fine interview, Coleman β right up there with your post-Olympics one with Hunter Armstrong.
I hereby vote Coleman as the βSwimSwamβ employee of the year!
Also very excited to see Rex coming into his own. Hopefully much more to come.
Much appreciated! Glad you’re enjoying them.
and I was sure that Leon Marchand would be the first under 4 in the 500 …
Leon pulled out of SC Worlds… maybe he deck enters at US Open?
You know something we donβt?
We need to will this into existence!
Think TCU, Dean Ferris etc.
The reason he gave was that he needed a break and he’s still in Europe, no?
Eh I’ll play along I’d love to see him in off events like the 200 back
There’s always 2025 NCAA’s……..
YES. THIS.
So Leon’s the 3rd guy?
THANK YOU COLEMAN!!! ππππ»ππ»ο»Ώ
