How does an Olympic medalist take 19 seconds off her 800 meter time and nearly beat Katie Ledecky? In this episode, I'm joined by Jaimie Fuller from EO Labs, the creators of the Swim Better Handsets, a company I've worked closely with since their early days to share how this breakthrough tech is transforming performance from helping Paige Madden make that jaw dropping improvement to giving triathletes a way to measure swim power in Watts, sync with training peaks, and use AI to pinpoint exactly where they're losing speed.
EO is changing the way we understand the swim leg from Olympic podiums to your local pool. This could change the way you approach every stroke.

Have you ever walked away from a swim thinking,
"Why does this still feel so hard?"
You're not alone. Most adult swimmers struggle with the same few challenges—again and again—and it’s usually because no one ever showed them how to fix it the right way.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the most common mistakes adult swimmers make—and more importantly, how to finally fix it.
Let’s get started.
00:17 Mistake #1: Holding Too Much Tension
04:07 Mistake #2: Looking Forward the Whole Time
06:12 Mistake #3: Overkicking or Stiff-Leg Kicking
07:38 Mistake #4: Beginning Your Catch Before You Finish Reaching Forward
09:28 Mistake #5: Rushing the Breath
Most swimmers think a harder kick equals more speed. But for adult swimmers and triathletes, it usually means more effort and less progress. So, if your legs feel heavy, your breathing feels rushed, or you’re constantly tired after short swims, it might be your kick that’s holding you back. Let’s fix it.
00:32 Mistake #1: Kicking From the Knees
02:33 Mistake #2: Too Much Kick
06:16 Mistake #3: Stiff Ankles
08:29 Mistake #4: Using It For Propulsion
09:15 Bonus Cue: Fishtail Feet
