SwimSwam Podcast: Zach Harting on Gaining Weight in Off-season, Viking Beard

On SwimSwam Podcast, we’re giving you an in-depth listen at all things swimming. Host Coleman Hodges welcomes guests and guest co-hosts alike to get perspective on our ever-changing swimming universe and break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.

We sat down with Zach Harting, NCAA All-American out of Louisville and quietly one of the biggest personalities on the national team. Harting talked about mastering 1-handed push-ups during quarantine, growing his Viking beard out (he recently had his first practice with beads in it), and how he tried to gain weight during the 2019 off-season.

It seems like clubs have better access to water than colleges. More frosh studs maybe should think About staying home?
