In the first episode we chat with Olympic backstroker Ashley Delaney. He reveals:

How he got started in swimming by accident
The one thing he changed in his diet to drop two kilos in weight and start swimming faster times in training
Small things he focuses on each lap that made him one of the best underwater kickers Australia has ever seen
One change that you can make in a race to conserve your energy and have more speed and power at the end of every race

I felt better in the pool, I have more power and I have felt a whole lot better just generally from getting treated twice a week.
