The Long Course: Heads Up
About this episode
Mark Seguin reflects on his return to swimming as a coach and parent, questioning the current state of the sport.
The Long Course - Episode 1 : Heads Up No coach will ever tell a swimmer to lift their head up — head down is how you go fast. In the first episode of The Long Course, Mark does the opposite: he asks you to look up at the sport and tell him if it's the best we can do. After a full swimming career and a twenty-year break, he came back as a parent and a coach — and barely recognized what he found on the pool deck. This is what he saw, and why he thinks the sport has quietly drifted. Keep your heads up.
