What's Wrong with Kieran Smith? No PB's in 5 Years. Is it time to leave Gainesville?

from Night Swim Podcast · host Dax and Elvis

Kieran Smith is stacking World Championship teams and medals... but no best times in forever and zero buzz. Dax & Elvis ask the tough question: Is it time to leave Gainesville? We compare his yardage overload to past mistakes, why high-volume distance training can backfire, and why elite freestylers belong at Cal for power/technique fixes. Marketing fail or deeper issue? Mental baseline reset after big success? Brutal honesty.🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins. Hosted by Dax Hill (NCAA champ, Texas Longhorns legend, high-performance technique guru @Reykli) and Elvis Burrows (Bahamian Olympian, national record holder, founder of Burrow's Best swimmer hair and skin care), Night Swim is unfiltered swim culture — NCAA battles, Olympic tea, training hacks, and pool-deck chaos. No scripts. No PR. Just two Black swimmers who’ve seen it all, saying what everyone else whispers.New episodes weekly.
