JOSH LIENDO

Josh Liendo is Canada's top male swimmer. At World Champs, he took 2nd in the 100 Fly, 3rd in the 100 Free, and 5th in the 50 Free. He's just 19 years old.

Brett Pelican and Josh Liendo go deep into the world of sprinting, specifically breaking down his freestyle technique, strengths & weaknesses, and race strategies.

They discuss racing against David Popovici, whose race plan and strengths are the opposite of Liendo's.

They talk about Caeleb Dressel pulling out of World Champs and how Liendo wanted to compare each aspect of his race to Caeleb's to determine how he is shaping up.

They talk about Cesar Cielo's 100 Free WR, Ben Titley leaving Canada, his practice schedule, and how he has unbridled confidence.
