Thanks for the interview. Pretty crazy to see his swim progress over the years. To go from a :48ish 50 (probably scy) to holding 1:08-1:09 LCM is really impressive.

Maybe there is hope for me. I recently actually managed a 40 second 50 yard in a 25 yard pool. :-)

All it takes is a few years of 40k weeks. No big deal.

great to see the progress of not only Matt but all of the other athletes in The Triathlon Squad that Paulo coaches. I swim at the same time as the squad and see them every Tuesday/Thursday and Friday swimming long course and their group is huge now. Probably about 25 athletes churning up the water each morning.

Ya, that is very impressive improvement. In scy terms, he would be going around 1:00 per 100 yd lvg on the 1:20. Going from a 48 sec 50 to holding 60 sec 100s is phenomenal improvement. He obv has a fair amount of swim talent which has enabled those 30-40K weeks to pay big dividends.
