Are We Entering the Golden Age of Pro Swimming?
Description
Is THIS the moment pro swimming finally levels up?
Dax and Elvis break down why the sport might be entering a true Golden Age, how marketing and personality could’ve changed everything a decade ago, and why swimmers no longer need an Olympic medal to build a real career.
From Roy Burch’s early social media blueprint to the rise and fall of ISL, to how Team Elite, ASAP Miami, and pro groups almost created a rivalry era… this episode dives into the alternate timeline where pro swimming becomes entertainment—and why it still can.
