Unfiltered Waters

We spent the day at the University of Virginia and sat down with Katie Grimes for a conversation that felt especially meaningful. In this episode, Katie opens up about her transition from training as a high school athlete at Sandpipers to life at UVA, how dramatically her routine and independence changed, and why the team culture has been the steady anchor through it all. She reflects honestly on a challenging NCAA season, learning to separate her identity from performance, and trusting the process when results didn’t immediately show up. We also talk about happiness, growth, gratitude, and the re...

We spent an entire day inside the University of Virginia’s program and sat down with head coach Todd DeSorbo to understand what makes UVA one of the most dominant teams in NCAA history.

He opens up about leading athletes across two teams, keeping training fresh, balancing chaos with structure, managing big personalities, navigating major NCAA changes, and why he believes the program succeeds because everyone is pulling for each other. We also get into misconceptions ab...

For this Dynamic Duos episode, we sat down with sisters and Olympic medalists Gretchen and Alex Walsh to talk through the bond, the rivalry, and the daily life behind one of swimming’s most steady, consistent partnerships.

They share their favorite stories from growing up racing each other, what people misunderstand abou...

Reaching 100 episodes feels surreal, so we wanted to slow down, look back, and celebrate what this show has become. In this episode, we revisit the moments that made the biggest splash, the conversations that took us deeper than we expected, and the guests who surprised us, challenged us, and left a mark. We talk about the episodes that changed us, the behind-the-scenes stories nobody heard, and the emotional highlights from the first interview with Caeleb Dressel all the way through the most recent conversations with athletes like Oksana Masters, Regan Smith, Gabby Thomas, Summer McIntosh, and so many more...
