Thomas Heilman USA Olympic Medalist Episode 191

In this episode, we chat with teenage swim phenomenon and Team USA Olympic swimmer Thomas Heilman after his first Olympics in Paris. At age 17, Thomas secured his Olympic berth with a decisive win in the 200 butterfly at the 2024 USA Olympic Trials, and put an exclamation point on the week in Indy when he finished 2nd in the 100 fly, earning him a 2nd individual event to swim in Paris with a new personal best time 50.80 behind legend Caeleb Dressel.

Thomas talks with us about it all in this one: his Paris experience, what he does in training that has led to his unprecedented success at such a young age, how good the chocolate muffins were at the Paris dining hall, celebrity sightings, and assimilating back into normal high schooler life as an Olympian.
