Episode 13 - 2007 World Champs Melbourne

Welcome to the Shannon Rollason Podcast, a swimming podcast like no other.

In this episode Shannon and I take a walk down memory lane all the way back to the 2007 World Swimming Championships in Melbourne, Australia which was 15 years ago.

We discuss the big moments of the week in the pool, many of which came from one man named Michael Phelps. Shannon gives us an insight into his week as a coach, and how his athletes performed in Melbourne with names like Jodie Henry and Tarnee White in the team.

We also get into a discussion around relays, and the possibility of teams having a specialist relay coach especially at the international level. What was the drop in pool like at Rod Laver Arena?, and did it present it's own unique challenges.

All that and a whole lot more, so jump in the time machine with us and travel back to 2007 as we look back on one of Swimming Australia's most successful World Champs.
