Torri Huske and Kayla Wilson Open Up on Swim & Tell: Swimming World Podcast
Swimming World is excited to announce our brand new podcast, Swim & Tell — a show dedicated to sharing the real stories behind the athletes, coaches, and teams that shape the sport of swimming. Swim & Tell is a space for swimmers and other athletes to talk about everything from standout swims and favorite individual races to team culture and life outside of the pool.
Hosted by Sophia Knapp, a fourth-year swimmer at the University of Virginia, Swim & Tell brings a fresh, athlete-driven perspective to the swimming community. Knapp understands the dedication and balance the sport requires, as she qualified for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 800-meter and 1500-meter freestyles. Her experience in the sport helps her connect with guests on a personal level, creating authentic and engaging conversations.
Sophia shared:
“The idea came from wanting to provide a voice and safe space for swimmers to talk about life beyond a race. I’m also really excited to connect with the swim community and highlight what the journey looks like — from being a young athlete to becoming a professional swimmer.”
Sophia’s goal is to “show the human side of the sport and share stories that inspire connection and perspective within the swimming community.”
Future episodes will feature a mix of up-and-coming age group athletes, collegiate captains, Olympians, and coaches.
