Elvis goes all in on Caleb Dressel's US Open outlook—and he doesn’t sugarcoat it.“My prediction is Dressel will be lucky if he makes top ten… If he breaks 22 seconds, he should consider himself lucky.” Dax and Elvis break down:• Why Dressel’s recent move may not have helped• The gap between old-guard sprinters and today’s field• Why the swimming world panics when someone speaks locker-room truth“What we say is what people are thinking and what they're saying on deck… the second we put it online, everyone’s like ‘how dare he?’”🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

Penny Oleksiak gets hit with a two-year ban for three missed tests… but is this actually a big deal, or just anti-doping politics?In this Night Swim clip, Elvis and Dax use Penny’s situation to unpack how the drug testing game really works at the elite level:Why three missed “whereabouts” tests = automatic suspension.What it’s like to log your location 24/7 for six months at a time.How easy it is to fall out of the testing pool and quietly use banned meds.TUEs, prednisone, inhalers, Adderall and other “legal cheat codes.Why drug makers are 12–14 steps ahead of the testers.NCAA microdosing stories, miracle injury drugs, and false walls at meets.Why swimming is probably way dirtier than fans want to believe.🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

The CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge were supposed to “revolutionize” college swimming…But did they? Or was it just chaos wrapped in overalls and weird bracket rules?In this clip, Dax and Elvis break down one of the strangest meets we’ve seen in years — including why the format confused everyone, why no one could understand the scoring, and why gimmicks cannot save the sport.We dig into:The NCAA / CSCAA attempt at innovation — and where it went wrongWhy the rules made zero sense (even after reading them seven times)Why swimming keeps trying gimmicks instead of fixing the productSwimming in overallsWhy marketing is swimming’s Achilles heelWhat actually makes a swim meet entertainingWhy ideas FROM swimming people usually make the sport worseAs Dax puts it:“If the idea comes from within swimming… it’s going to suck.”“Our sport is so inbred we don’t know our cousin from our uncle.”🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

Did Ozempic just become the newest performance enhancer in sports?Dax and Elvis break down whether GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy actually give athletes an advantage — and whether they should be considered a legal “cheat code.”They discuss Ozempic (semaglutide/GLP-1 agonists) as a potential performance enhancer: appetite suppression for quick fat loss, but risks like muscle wasting, under-fueling, GI issues, and poor recovery.Elvis mentions a TikTok he did asking if it should be seen as a PED, with comments debating muscle loss vs. benefits (e.g., dropping 5lbs for faster times).Dax shares his personal experience with ulcerative colitis causing rapid weight loss ("Daxempic"), using it as a disclaimer for his views, and criticizes using it unethically for efficiency over hard training.They touch on dangers for athletes (e.g., high-volume training on an empty stomach) and why it's "sketchy" for race weight, though okay for medical use like diabetes.🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

Dax & Elvis go DEEP on the current generation of “super suits” – Mizuno GX Sonic, Arena Carbon Air², Speedo LZR Pure Valor 2.0, TYR Venzo, etc. Are these new double-layer, triple-layer, air-trapping jammers actually bringing back the banned 2009 polyurethane era… or is it all just marketing hype?Elvis tells the wild story of racing in a 2017 suit that literally kept his dead legs kicking when he was completely out of shapeDax explains why he felt ZERO difference between briefs and the newest jammersWhy every Olympic cycle magically drops “10% faster” suit tech right on timeThe secret double-layer trick that supposedly still traps air (even though it’s “illegal”)Are today’s kids breaking records because of coaching, genetics, more Black & Caribbean talent… or because the suits are low-key juiced?🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.

There are more elite Black swimmers in the NCAA today than ever before — and Elvis & Dax are asking the question everyone not-so-secretly wants answered: Where are they all coming from… and why NOW? In this segment, the guys dive deep into:– Tennessee’s roster LOADED with Black sprinters– Florida’s wave of Bahamian & Caribbean talent– Why there were only one or two Black swimmers per state 10–15 years ago– The rise of Caribbean athletes dominating sprint events– Access, affluence, representation, and REAL talk about genetics– Why Black swimmers bring more personality, energy, and culture to the sport– Why swimming desperately needs bigger personalities to grow– How “cool factor” and cultural influence could reshape the future of swimming.
