Episode Details

For the FIRST TIME EVER on Night Swim, we welcome not one, not two, but THREE Black swimmers on the mic — a world record in itself 😂. Olympic silver medalist (100 fly Paris 2024), multiple-time NCAA champion, short course WORLD RECORD holder (47.68 100 fly), and Florida Gator legend Josh Liendo joins Dax & Elvis for an unfiltered, no-PR conversation.

We dive into:

• The real culture at Florida under Anthony Nesty (the OG butterflyer)
• What actually happened with Bella Sims drama & team meetings (Josh keeps it 100)
• Why Caleb Dressel left Florida & the power of coach-athlete relationships
• The rise of Black swimmers — from Jordan Crooks battles to the snowball effect
• Taper myths, high yardage vs explosiveness, and when you can get TOO swole in the weight room
• Growing up in Trinidad/Canada, representing Black excellence in a mostly white sport
• Favorite muscle for the ladies, rom-com vibes, pickup lines (the youth need this game 😂)
• Enhanced Games? LA 2028 plans? And why he's staying focused

Plus chain flexing, roasting Hubert Kos's basketball skills, George Bovell beach warm-ups, and way too much laughing after hours.
