I can’t rave enough about The Weekly Freestyle podcast! As a passionate swimmer and avid podcast listener, I was thrilled to come across this gem. Each episode is a refreshing dive into the world of swimming, and it’s clear that the hosts are as enthusiastic about the sport as I am.

The content is a perfect blend of informative and engaging discussions on technique, training, and even the latest news in the swimming community. Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer looking to fine-tune your strokes or a beginner eager to learn the ropes, this podcast caters to all levels of expertise.

What truly sets The Weekly Freestyle apart is the genuine camaraderie between the hosts. Their chemistry is palpable, making every episode feel like a dynamic conversation between close friends. It’s evident they put a lot of effort into research and planning, resulting in well-structured episodes that are as educational as they are enjoyable.

From stroke breakdowns to interviews with industry experts, The Weekly Freestyle covers a wide range of topics, ensuring that there’s something valuable for everyone. As a listener, I’ve not only gained insights to improve my swimming techniques but also discovered a sense of community through their shared passion.

So, whether you’re a competitive swimmer, a recreational pool enthusiast, or simply someone who loves podcasts, I wholeheartedly recommend The Weekly Freestyle. Dive in, soak up the wisdom, and let the hosts’ enthusiasm for swimming inspire you to reach new aquatic heights. It’s a five-star experience that’s made a splash in my podcast lineup!

Just an all round great podcast, this podcast is by no means just for swimmers, fans of swimming and fans of Tom Dean (and Alex Sutton), and I would urge everyone to give it a listen. The hosts are clearly passionate about this podcast and the variety of topics discussed each week (badgers, sports infrastructure, tips and advice for young athletes/athlete’s parents) keeps it interesting and makes you want to keep coming back each week to listen. TWF shouldn’t just be in the top 200 sports podcasts, rather it should be in the top 1 (like I’m sure many listeners would agree). #TWFtop1

Unrivalled insight into the swimming world, always a great weekly listen!

Very diverse, very informative and entertaining podcast. Makes my week every week and ruins my week between every season that its not there.

This is a great podcast for budding swimmers and parents alike. Lots of great information to glean to help support swimmers as well as a dose of humour and fun for swimmers. The age group episode is definely worth a listen!

Great podcast, feels like you’re just listening to two mates have a catch up, easy listen

You just knew this was going to make you laugh. Never fails to disappoint and a lot to learn from it.

A great podcast which is always a good laugh- shoutout to the instagram as well for great entertainment and bts !!

Amazing to hear from Tom dean himself speaking about what he does when it comes to the sport and giving advice to future generation. Some fellow Olympians also appear in some episodes. Definitely recommend (Give Away Info) James Boddie insta-jambod07

Really good podcast. Great chat about all aspects of the sport and gives great advice. Highly recommend - Jonah McIntyre

Love listening to the pod every week! As a swimming fan, it’s so cool to get the perspective of Tom and Alex about all that’s going on in the swimming world. Also super cool to hear from all the guests that make an appearance. Would definitely recommend to everyone, even if you’re not a swimming fan!

absolutely love listening to this podcast every wednesday, such a range of topics and love seeing the behind the scenes of elite level athletes! so cool and inspiring to see another side to performance swimming as a club swimmer and obviously very funny too! the pod talks about very important issues in our sport, such as the lack of media coverage, but also has fun along the way, especially in the call room and with the guests! keep doing what you’re doing

Easily the best because all the others I’ve found have been focused more on fitness/leisure swimmers or are American and they only talk about NCAA. The best bit is that it comes out every wed at 6am so I always listen to it on my way to school after training. Super motivational and relatable as a swimmer, I love it!!

A lovely podcast to put on in the background. Provides a great insight into the world of swimming, it’s inner workings and finer details. Would highly recommend for both swimmers and non-swimmers.

Proper content 🔥

It’s not everyday you get crowned as a rate my plate CHAMP by the Olympic Champ himself, safe to say I don’t have to leave my name here 😤

Class pod week in and week out, couldn’t have a better start to my humpday with the freestyle

The weekly freestyle is so enjoyable to listen to as an age group swimmer for experience from people like Tom Dean and Freya Anderson, and was interesting to hear from their lactate set from hell 😭 Totally recommend as a swimmer and I think you should definitely listen to the weekly freestyle 👍👍 ~ Melike Dagdelen

Always a great laugh with some very interesting insights into the life of an Olympics athlete! Would recommend to anyone!!

Great show with lots of interesting info about how the world of swimming works and has changed. Easy to listen to and always has a good joke or two running through the show. Keep them coming and bring in a few guests as well. Unbelievable to think that Tom has only swam a few times in the Olympic pools, my 11 year old has had three events and one AP training session there in a year!

I really enjoy every episode and the latest one about London 2012 was superb. Tom’s knowledge was scarily good, not so much on Liverpool though!

A great podcast with great banter - always look forward to listening every Wednesday!

Great Pod with great banter and really interesting topics.

Love the podcast guys. Great insights into the life of our Elite athletes and the human side of their lives. Great banter too!!

Top lads and great content. Some fascinating insight too!

These podcasts are so cool, informative and fun! The boys have a great chemistry

Looking forward to more episodes!
