What if you could go from barely swimming two laps to becoming an Ironman World Champion in just three years? That’s exactly what Bryce Morrison did.

In this episode, I sit down with Bryce to unpack his incredible transformation from college baseball player and complete swimming beginner to winning the 25–29 age group at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, including an impressive 58-minute swim in challenging conditions.

We dive into the technique changes that transformed his swimming, how video analysis and targeted drills accelerated his progress, and why consistency and smarter training made such a difference.

We also discuss his future ambitions, the possibility of turning professional, and what it will take to close the gap with the world’s best swimmers.

If you’ve ever thought you started swimming too late or that becoming a faster swimmer was out of reach, Bryce’s story might change the way you think about what’s possible.
