    Sep 19 2025

    This week on The Weekly Freestyle, Alex Sutton is joined by Luke Withers to dive into one of the biggest stories shaking up the swimming world: Ben Proud’s controversial move to the Enhanced Games.

    We ask the tough questions:

    • Has Proud’s decision tarnished his legacy?
    • Has the sport failed one of its brightest stars?
    • And what about the health risks that come with this choice?

    Plus, we break down all the latest drama from Aquatics GB’s transfer deadline day, who’s on the move, who’s staying put, and what it all means for the future of British swimming.

  • FREYA ANDERSON & KATIE SHANAHAN - Life in Stirling, World Champs Prep & Period Talk
    Jul 16 2025

    This week on The Weekly Freestyle, Alex sits down with two of Britain’s top swimmers Freya Anderson and Katie Shanahan for an honest, inspiring, and fun conversation you won’t want to miss.

    We dive into life behind the lanes as they chat about living and training together in Stirling, their recent trips abroad, and how they’re adjusting to a new training setup. With the World Championships in Singapore on the horizon, hear what’s driving them, what they’re aiming for, and how they’re getting there.

    Freya and Katie also open up about their work with Fast and Female, discussing the worrying drop out rates among girls in sport. They share powerful insights into the challenges women face from body image to performance pressures and why it’s so important to normalise these conversations.

    And of course, we wrap things up with a quickfire round revealing favourite snacks, secret quirks, and a few surprises along the way.

    Enjoy ☺️
