Episode 19 - Anna-Karin Lundin, Swim Smooth Coach and the world's smoothest Swinger!

Today we speak with legendary Swim Smooth Coach and Olympian from the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Anna-Karin Lundin. The interview takes place in sunny Mallorca, Spain immediately after the BESTFest 2019 of Open Water Swimming, of which she won a few of the age-group events outright against some very strong competition.

If you've never seen Anna-Karin swim, start off by viewing this *awesome* clip here:

We talk candidly about Anna-Karin's early successes in swimming (primarily as a breaststroke swimmer), her participation at the 1988 Olympics as one of the youngest swimmers at the entire event, her early burn-out and retirement, and then her renaissance through her coaching in Gothenburg and venturing outdoors into the open water swimming arena!



Paul and Adam (above with AK) also discuss her development as a coach and how she came to join the Swim Smooth team:
