New Show!
Quintin McCarty, the 2025 ACC 50 freestyle champion, could be looking to sign NIL deals in two sports if the Wolfpack football staff needs any help in the kicking game. While swimmers are getting more athletic every year, we don’t often hear about swimmers with hobbies that could potentially unlock legitimate opportunities in other sports. Turns out, Quintin is pretty dangerous with the right leg. The takeaway: high performers enjoy the process of trying, failing, learning, repeating - and this might apply to their primary field (swimming) or any other activity.

But for now, Quintin McCarty is focused on swimming, and that is great news for swim fans. Recently winning his first conference title, Quintin went personal bests in all his events at ACCs and is primed to rack up some points at NCAAs for the Pack.

Quintin thinks he’ll still be in great swim shape for the next 20 years too. So, watch out Masters records once he’s done wreaking havoc on the college and international sprint game.

Cal Poly just had its swimming & diving program cut. No other sport at the school was cut. The school president says it will take $25 million to reinstate the program. Current Cal Poly swimmers Jen Reiter and Sabrina Bell joined us to share about the situation they find themselves in, how it came to this, and to ask for help.

While scholarships across the nation are being slashed, cutting entire programs is not what the sport needs. Plus, San Luis Obispo is awesome. The facilities are great (2x 50m pools). The team had a good year under interim staff. Would be a real shame to lose this one.

New Show!

Chlorinated Claire Curzan comes clean about crushing kicks and coaches tricks. In her first year competing for UVA, Claire Curzan, an Olympic medalist and World Champion looks to be on peak form heading into the college championship season. Already an NCAA champion from her freshman season at Stanford, College Claire picked up right where she left off, breaking the NCAA record in the 200 backstroke in-season, building excitement for what may come at her first ACCs.

The machine at Virginia keeps rolling.

If you bought $100 of Chris Guiliano stock in ~2021 and held onto it, you’d be a very rich person right now. The man of many freestyle talents has been on a rapid rise dropping chunks of time like he’s 10 years old en route to securing 3 individual spots on the Olympic team last summer in the 50-100-200, the first U.S. man to do so since the legend Matt Biondi.

Under the radar, Chris developed at Notre Dame, but following the sanctions on the program is now a Texas Longhorn and already among the all-time top 10 performers at UT after his first dual meets. Scary for what’s to come for Chris Guiliano as he says he wants to be the best freestyler in the world. Hard to bet against this guy now. We’re bullhish.

Canadian Olympic Champion superstar swimmer Summer McIntosh kicked off her season at the Pro Series meet in US, where she put on a show in the 400 IM, going out under her own World Record pace before finishing with the 4th fastest performance all-time in the event in 4:26.98.

Following President Justin Trudeau’s response to US imposed tariffs on Canadian imports this week, the eyes of Canada were on their star swimmer to stick it to the Americans and rumors on deck indicated the world record holder was “tariffied” that her times would be subject to a 25% increase given her citizenship, however official results come following the 1-month delay on tariffs and our sources say her times will stand. 😉

New Show!!

Fresh Wolfpack faces. Same Wolfpack speed. Leah Shackley and Erica Pelaez have been racing each other for a few years already wearing American flags on their cap. Now they are in college on the same team and thriving. Backstroke prowess runs deep in Raleigh, so it’s no surprise these backstroke standouts found their way to join the bearded baron Braden Holloway to etch their names in NC State lore, but both have skills beyond backstroke and have already shown through the dual meet season they are key contributors for the Pack this championship season.
