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 Olympic champion and now Lawyer Katie Meili. Meili took us through much of her swim journey, from summer league and high school swimming through college swimming at Columbia and into her pro career, where she really started to have a presence on the international stage.
Meili also addresses something we in the swimming community don’t always consider: life after swimming. She emphasized the importance of knowing yourself outside of just swimming and starting to formulate a plan of what life after swimming might look like well before you reach the end of your path. In this way, you’re well prepared to transition from one passion to the next.

A most delightful interview, wonderful to see Katie again. Beautiful smile. Winning attitude.
Another good one Coleman! Katie is so well spoken and she has her head screwed on right! I recommend all college and pro swimmers to listen to this podcast. I know too many swimmers who only know swimming and don’t think about life after swimming!
Some other good points Katie makes is that swimming (successfully) in college is a year round effort and that is something that Ivy League swimmers struggle with Internships, overseas opportunities, Ivy League rules, etc It can be done but it will take sacrifice. Another highlight is when she said “breastrokers are weird.” I have always said similar but added not as weird as divers…..but they have an excuse of landing on their head too much!… Read more »
Good interview. She displays an intellect and perspective that only can be shared through her experiences and reflection. Must view for a swimmer who is about to enter college or take their sport to another level of dedication.
When is Carle Fierro’s podcast coming on. And when are you having Kate Douglas again????
He just had one on Kate
Yeah in September 7th! I’d love to hear about her season and the times she has been posting
