    The 2025 college swimming season was a wild one, and to chat about women’s swimming and put a bow on the year that was, we’re joined by Texas stud freshman Piper Enge and Indiana mega point scorer Miranda Grana to talk all things swimming.

    Piper finaled in the 100 breaststroke (5th) at her first ever NCAAs as a freshman and swam short course best times this year, following up on her World Championships appearance in 2024. Texas finished 3rd in the team race following a tight battle with Stanford for 2nd.

    Miranda Grana scored 40 points for the Hoosiers in her first year with the program, led by her 3rd place 100 backstroke and 4th place 100 butterfly performances. IU battled Tennessee for the 4th trophy, and took home another large one to display in coach Ray Looze’s office.

    In this fun episode with two of the brightest young stars in college swimming, we look back on the year of swimming, discuss adjusting to college swimming and to a new program, innovative techniques, the difficulty situation with roster cuts, and expectations for next year.

  • Jassen Yep - The most surprising win of 2025 NCAA Swimming Championships | Episode 238
    Apr 8 2025

    As a 5th year, even Jassen Yep didn’t think winning an NCAA Swimming title was possible until he touched the wall in the 200 breast. After touching, Jassen Yep let out raw emotion and excitement, resulting in a legendary swimming celly. Although it seems like Yep was an overnight success, there was a lot of hard work behind this win. Yep was an accomplished high school swimmer in California, representing Archbishop Mitty and swimming at PEAK with elite club coach Abi Liu. In high school, he went a 1:57 in the 200 breast to earn a small scholarship at Indiana. At Indiana, Jassen put in work and through various ups and downs, he dropped 9 seconds in the 200 breast to go a 1:48 200 breaststroke, becoming the third fastest performer in history. He is also the best dressed Social Kick guest of all time, rocking a tuxedo on the show and having Olympian Matt King serve him a chilled beverage. Entering the 2025 NCAA Swimming championships, Jassen Yep was convinced this would be his final meet. Lucky for us, he surprised himself, and we’ll get to watch him continue his career in the long pool. Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe for weekly podcasts and daily shorts!
