Torri Huske on Olympic Redshirt Season: “I feel like I’m… living life on easy mode”

2024 PRO SWIM SERIES – WESTMONT

Heading into last year’s US Trials, Torri Huske was coming off of a very intense academic course load at Stanford and was frankly exhausted. This year, after taking an Olympic redshirt so she only has to focus on swimming, things are feeling… easy.

After arguably the best in-season meet of her career where she swam numerous personal bests, Huske is feeling much less stressed outside the pool. She has the time to indulge in things like art, read, socialize, and recover from practice.

Torri’s breaststroke has improved dramatically. A 37 split is world class.

Very few will actually understand the rigors of the Stanford academic load compared to other institutions of higher learning and fast swimming. Glad she is swimming well and hope she is ready to go in Paris!

Time demands on elite swimmers (as well as many serious age groupers) well exceed 40 hours – 10-12 practices per weeks (including water time and dryland), getting changed before and after practice, driving to and from practices, and very often needing a bit of rest after an exhausting practice.
