It was a weekend of the highest drama in Glasgow at the Duel in the Pool as the European team fell to the US by a solitary point after a tie breaking medley relay. That and the European Short Course Championships are the topics of conversation for Bob, Katie and Steve.
The podcast is on the road for this special edition which comes to you from the British Swimming Coaches Association annual conference. The conference gave a chance to speak to England’s Commonwealth Games head coach for 2014, Jon Rudd, as well as Millfield’s Jol Finck who coached James Guy to such an impressive 2013 and Warrender’s Laurel Bailey who guided Craig McNally to some fine performances in Barcelona.
Britain finally got off the mark, but left it until the very last session. Steve, Katy and Bob chew over the British performance and there is a chance to speak to Jon Rudd, coach to Lithuanian superstar Ruta Meilutyte, before we say goodbye.
One day to go and Britain’s chances in the pool are running out; the events in Barcelona and the timing of trials dominate conversation on the podcast.
