SSPC: Dean Farris, Harvard Coaches Break Down Ivy League Training, Tradition

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 Swimming’s favorite Harvard swimmer, Dean Farris, along with the head and associate head coaches of the Harvard Men’s swim team, Kevin Tyrrell and Sam Pitter. We started the conversation by getting a good look into what training has been like for the Harvard men this semester, which is very different than a lot of other college programs we’ve talked to.

I think one of the most exciting parts about the Harvard swimming tradition is the HYP (Harvard-Yale-Princeton) tri-meet at the end of January, effectively the start of the 6-week taper for Ivy League Championships and NCAAs. Dean, Kevin, and Sam all give their take on what makes HYP such a fun and exhilarating event.

Anybody who’s ever been around anything Ivy League knows how desperately hard they work to control their own narratives.

That Dean was allowed on at all is shocking to me, and a win, to be honest.

Yeah the beloved American Record holder of swimswam who trains at Texas in the summers would stay off the Ivy League pod?

Cmon son.

Having swam in the Ivy League, not sure I agree with this statement.
