  • E199 - Stephen Clegg: Benefits of Visually Impaired Swimming
    May 23 2024

    Aquatics GB named their Paralympic Swimming squad for the Paris Paralympics 2024 this week. Stephen Clegg was one of the para-swimmers selected and will head to his third Paralympic Games after appearances at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.


    So far an elusive Paralympic gold medal has eluded the Edinburgh University swimmer, but after winning World Para Swimming titles in the S12 100m Butterfly and 100m Backstroke and setting multiple Para-Swimming World records could Paris 2024 be his year?


    This week on the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we discuss with Stephen the challenges and benefits being a visually impaired swimmer brings. He shares everything From training to using feel rather than sight to stroke counting and slowing down for a turn.

  • E197 - Honey Osrin: Sacrifices to make the Olympics
    May 14 2024

    At the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships, Loughborough University swimmer Honey Osrin claimed the 200m Backstroke title ahead of Katie Shanahan and booked her place at the Paris Olympics.


    Her journey to a first Olympic Games has been far from an easy one. We discuss with Honey her decision to come to train in the UK at 13 years old and leave her native South Africa, a 5 year plateau struggling to break the 2:10 mark in the 200m Back, and why it took a virus for her to put all her eggs in one basket and a secure British Swimming selection.
