Brian Johns on Coaching, Data, and FORM Swim Innovation

Olympian and world-record holder Brian Johns joins Run Tri Bike's Fireside Chat with host Jason Bahamundi to explore how technology, mindset, and coaching science are transforming the way athletes train in the water.From his early swimming days to competing in three Olympic Games, Brian’s story is one of evolution, shifting from volume-based training to a smarter, data-driven approach that prioritizes balance and intention. Now leading Coaching Science at FORM Swim, Brian discusses how the brand’s Smart Swim Goggles provide real-time feedback—lap times, stroke rate, and pacing—all visible mid-swim.The conversation dives deep into how technology enhances awareness, not replaces it. For triathletes, adult-onset swimmers, or anyone looking to swim smarter, FORM’s integration with TrainingPeaks, Tridot, and Garmin brings coaching precision to every session, whether in the pool or open water.Jason and Brian highlight the intersection of data and mindset, reminding listeners that relaxation, pacing, and consistency are the ultimate performance enhancers. This episode is more than a product discussion...it’s an inspiring look at how endurance athletes can train with purpose, perspective, and joy.Keep ConnectedRun Tri Bike on InstagramRun Tri Bike on ThreadsFORM Swim WebsiteRate & Review the Everyday Athlete Podcast Network
