Bruce Gemmell is an Olympic swim coach for Nation’s Capital Swim Club (NCAP), USA Swimming’s premier club team with 14 locations, 1800+ athletes, and 65+ coaches. Most recently they produced three Olympians: Katie Ledecky (the GOAT), Andrew Gemmell (Bruce’s son), and Jack Conger.
Bruce was an OT qualifier himself, swimming at the University of Michigan, where he learned all about energy zones and Jon Urbanchek’s famous color system.
In this conversation, Brett asks a lot of questions about training Katie Ledecky and his own son, Andrew, who was training partners with her leading up to the 2016 Rio Games.

Ultra-Marathon Swimmer Liana Smith: Injury, Depression & Swimming with Sharks
In today’s episode is Liana Smith who’s an elite level swimmer that even held a number of New Zealand national titles. However, at the age of just 17 Liana’s competitive swimming career was thrown into doubt when she suffered stress fractures in her back, was unable to walk, and even had to learn basic motor skills again.
During this period Liana was obviously unable to compete and do what she loved, and so lost her sense of identity and this took a serious toll on her mental health causing her to feel depressed.
It took Liana a number of years to recover both physically and mentally from this ordeal, and she is now trying to become only the 8th person in history to complete a marathon swimming challenge called the Triple Crown, which involves three different swims of mammoth distances across lakes and the sea (where there’s the added factor of sharks being present!). What’s more, she’s doing this to raise money for the mental health charity I am Hope.

Swim the Suck | Official Video for 2021 | A22
Swim the Suck is a 10-mile downstream open water swimming race in Chattanooga, TN hosted by the Chattanooga Open Water Swimmers (C.O.W.S.) and is sanctioned by United States Masters Swimming (USMS). The 11th Annual event was held on Saturday, October 9, 2021, and I am very grateful to say I was presented the opportunity to both film and produce the video! This was the very first major project I have done behind the camera, as my brand A22 is originally dedicated to fitness and wellbeing (@a22strength on Instagram), but I want to expand it further into this passion of filmmaking I have found too. I’m excited to post more content and upgrade the design of my newly created “A22 Films”. Thank you for taking the time to watch my first project behind the camera!
