Imagine swimming a 26.32 sec for a 50m Freestyle and qualifying for the US Olympic Swimming Trials at age 40! Well North Carolina swimmer Erika Braun did just that. We talk about that and so much more on today's podcast.

What made her get into Masters swimming, after 12 years out of the water? How did she manage to swim a lifetime best at 40? What training does Erika do that makes her so fast?
Why does she love masters swimming so much and what makes up her training week?

We also chatted about her 100m freestyle FINA World Masters record; how she tried several times to break it, and then finally doing so in the lead off leg of a relay. That 4x100m relay also claimed the world record.

It was such an interesting discussion and an insight into the mind of a champion, who we can all learn from in our quest to be the best we can be as masters swimmers.
