Friday, 27 March, 2026
Send us Fan MailDive into the fusion of brawn and buoyancy as we chat with Dan Daly, an accomplished Masters open water swimmer and a connoisseur of strength and swim technique. Together, we navigate the urban challenge of securing pool space amidst New York's concrete jungle and contrast it with the swimming haven of Budapest. The conversation takes a personal dip into Dan's recent aquatic achievements, including a 4,000-meter swim and the creation of a Masters team during these unprecedented times. We even take a light-hearted lap around his Movember mustache escapades and the hopeful currents regarding NYC's COVID-19 situation and our cleaner urban waters.Ever wondered how the finesse of your freestyle could make waves in your swim times? We submerge ourselves into the science behind hand positioning in swimming, where even a slightly open finger could set the stage for a smoother glide through the water. I share my passion for kettlebell training and its symbiotic relationship with swim strokes, while Dan provides pro-tips on technique adjustments for master swimmers. Our expedition continues as we examine the progression from thumb positions to personal stroke adaptations, all amidst my own aspirations to circumnavigate Manhattan Island and the environmental silver linings of the pandemic.The pool's edge is just the starting block; we also plunge into the competitive swim circuit from high school to college in the U.S., shedding light on the dynamic between these foundational institutions. Our strokes of conversation then lead us to dissect the technological tide turning in breaststroke techniques and the pivotal power of pull-ups in a swimmer's arsenal. To cap it off, we share coaching strategies and extend a buoyant hand to our listeners, offering deeper dives into our insights with a hint to my Instagram treasure trove.
