We sat down with SwimSwam writer Zoe Gregorace (see "The Hungry Swimmer" series), also known on Instagram as "the Oatmeal Queen". Zoe takes us through her swim story, particularly what her nutrition looked like as a swimmer (and what nutrition looks like for many swimmers in high school and college). Zoe describes how she learned about nutrition while getting her masters and how she made slight tweaks to maximize her energy output AND taste in every meal.

I sat down with Alyssa Marsh, the Duke swim star who is one of the newest members of the LA Current in the ISL.

She admittedly isn't the best practice swimmer but talks about what she gained from not doing doubles for most of her high school career and teaching full-time currently while trying to make season 2 of ISL work.

I sat down with (most of) the Tennessee women's post-grad group. While Molly Hannis was the prominent figure in this group for years, in the past 12 months the group has seen a huge increase from graduations as well as relocations, including these 5 who joined me: Erika Brown, Maddy Banic, Ali DeLoof, Tess Cieplucha, and Maria Alvarez (not to mention Meghan Small, who couldn't make the call today). I get the scoop on how training has been going for all of them in Knoxville as well as what they're looking forward to.
