That's what Bovell looks like now? Does this man age in reverse?
Hi Brett. I'm the guy that left the age comment lol. I'm a 27 yo masters swimmer, and this is my business account. Anyway, I own a web development company based in Seattle. We pride ourselves for building some of the most next-gen websites. You're one of the few people in the swimming community that have a great business mindset. So I think you'll be interested in this idea. I believe that you'll benefit greatly from having a business website. And I'm not talking about just a generic DIY Squarespace website. I'm talking about a website where you can sell your merch, and have swimmers & coaches from all over the world schedule virtual coaching sessions with you.
Please feel free to visit our website 1stopcoder.com. Check out our portfolio, and schedule a free strategy consultation with me. Thanks for all the podcasts Brett! I really enjoy them!
"When you get sick you think in unhealthy ways and want what's bad for you." Truth bomb right there. The self can be the most empowering thing, but that doesn't mean it's always on your team. That's your job to make sure of, and if you can't do it alone, ask for help.
Fascinating! Great Swimmer and Wise man. Proud to be from the Caribbean.
Good job Brett. Keep going. 😀
What an amazingly insightful individual! So much more than just the swimmer most people assume. Back story and fight while swimming. Then what he's done after.
This is such an illuminating and beautiful interview—thank you!
I never thought a swimming podcast would have me thinking so deeply about the level of damage we do to ourselves on a daily basis and the potential we all have to take control of our own healing, be it physical, mental, or spiritual. What an amazing individual! Thank you for giving him the space to truly express his struggles and his growth!! Just incredible!
George Bovell truly made his mark in swimming during the 00s and beyond, great talk
Is it true George Bovell could do a chin up with 80kg strapped around him? Perhaps the only swimmer ever to do this.
Such a wise man
Great Interview!! Perhaps Stefan Nystrand for the future?
Life changing. Thanks Brett
i went and watched the race footage from the 2004 200 IM race, and yeah it definitely looks like George hit before Lochte. i put it at .25 playback speed to get a closer look

You are a legend George bovell. I look forward to seeing kids following in your footsteps
Well spoken brother
I'm catching up on a lot of videos and I'm only 20min into this one, but I could listen to this man all day long. He is so well-spoken, so eloquent, no annoying "ehms" and constant "you knows". And most importantly, great stories to tell!
Thank you George and Brett!! Fantastic interview. George's story made me think of Ryk Neethling moving from 1500 to 50fs! So uncommon and fascinating!
I wanna be this guy
Never thought I'd fall in love with a man and here I am, listening to this guy on my knees lol, (little exag there) amazing contend, I'm listening to it before my practice as a pre workout 🏊🏾♂️
