We’re joined by respected swimming journalist Liz Byrnes, who has spent more than two decades at the heart of the sport covering Olympic Games, World Championships and some of swimming’s biggest moments.
From the super-suit era and Duncan Scott’s stand against Sun Yang to athlete mental health, the rise of swimming longevity and the changing nature of elite competition, Liz shares her perspective on how the sport has evolved - and where it’s heading next.
Having travelled the world covering swimming for national and international media, Liz also discusses the pressure of championship reporting, the shift from print to digital media, and what makes a swimming story break through to the mainstream.
We dive into masters swimming, discussing how clubs and athletes can attract media coverage, why participation sport matters, and the inspiring stories that deserve a bigger audience.
Packed with insight, behind-the-scenes stories, humour and predictions for the future of swimming, this is insightful for swimmers, coaches and fans of the sport alike.
