Swimmer Michael Chadwick is an All-American and rising junior at Missouri. As a sophomore at the NCAA Championships, he finished fifth in the 100-yard freestyle, sixth in the 200-yard freestyle relay and ninth in the 50-yard freestyle. He sat down with The Maneater to discuss his training and goals for next season.
The Maneater: What have you been doing this summer for training? Michael Chadwick: I’m home in Charlotte, North Carolina, right now training with a pre-Olympic program called SwimMAC Carolina, which is the team I grew up training with. It’s a really big program where we have about 25 swimmers who are all trying to make the (Olympic) team next summer, including names like Ryan Lochte and Cullen Jones and Tyler Clary.
