1996 Olympic Swimming Prelims (7/21/96) w/ Matt Hodler of the University of Rhode Island

This week I get out over my skis (wrong kind of Olympics, sorry) and talk competitive swimming with Professor Matt Hodler of the University of Rhode Island.A competitive swimmer himself in college, Matt chose the preliminary round of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.If you’re like Matt, then the names Nuk Surisant and Antonia Maharia mean something to you. If you’re like me, you’re knowledge of competitive swimming goes about as deep as Michael Phelps and Summer Sanders.We talk about swim culture, race and swimming, swim media and much more.
