It takes a special type of person, to have the motivation and wherewithal to train predominantly by themselves and to be successful on top of that. My guest on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast today fits that prototype. Fred Schuster hails from Missouri, swam at Indiana University swimming under Doc Counsilman and now lives and trains in a pool he built at his house in Arizona.
Fred chats to us about breaking his first USMS national record in the 400 freestyle at the World Masters Championships in Doha and winning 4 golds. His story is a testament to the power of self-discipline and his love for swimming. Fred enlightens us on his strategic insights into transitioning from short course yards to long course metres and his meticulous approach to training in various environments. He epitomises the importance of self-motivation and the intricate balance between training and tapering techniques.
Hear how a self-built 25-metre pool in Arizona and the legendary coaching of Doc Counsilman at Indiana University shape a regimen that defies the norms. Fred discusses his unique training methods, from the solitary laps in his desert oasis to the camaraderie of Sunday swims with a Masters Club. Get inspired by his tailored approach to improving swim times, employing clock management and self-written workouts, which echo Counsilman's influence and innovation.
Fred gives us a peek into his streamlined approach to competitions, revealing a preference for simplicity in training—eschewing drills for the raw essence of swimming itself. Whether you're a swimmer seeking that extra edge or a sports enthusiast drawn to tales of individual triumph, this episode with Fred Schuster offers motivation and insights into the disciplined heart of a masters swimmer.
