In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges 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.
We sat down with Claire Adams, the University of Texas NCAA All-American who announced her retirement from swimming this past summer. Adams discusses her time at Texas and hits on the big learning curve she went through to make her senior season in particular so special. She also delves into her high school days at Carmel Swim Club in Indiana.
Specifically, we discuss her 2016 Olympic Trials, a meet that heading into, she was a top contender to make the US Olympic team. However, she broke her hand days before the competition and wasn’t able to match her top form. Adams sifts through the huge loss this was in her life and what it took to bounce back from that.

Is anyone NOT a “very special guest?” 🙂
They’re all good guests, bront.
Wow! What an amazing interview Claire gave. Very insightful. I was like Coleman, and was so happy for her senior year, especially her kick butt big 12’a. Was anticipating even more things at NCAA sand trials. So I was surprised and disappointed as a swim fan. But as a swAmmer, I get it, and it make a lot of sense. Props to her for honesty and a honest discussion of the mental challenges of loss etc. Man, I had a ton of respect for Claire the swimmer but even more now for Claire the person. How cool that she is going to teach 2nd graders?
An amazing young woman!
Great podcasts, keep ’em coming!
Claire has always been a great role model, reflecting perseverance and humility at the highest level. Glad to hear that she is doing well and achieving outside of the pool.
