Welcome back to the Shannon Rollason Podcast for another week.

This week with prize money in swimming going up and the upcoming World Cups having up to 1 Million USD up for grabs, should elite Aussie swimmers be paying for their own support staff, much the same as Golfers or Tennis players have to? It's a great topic of conversation and one that I'm sure will have divided opinions.

Shannon also takes us through his Sprint Set of the week, and discusses the reasons behind it and how it can be progressed as the season moves forward.

We talk about the news that Zac Stubblety Cook will be moving down to train with Mel Marshal in the new year, and why this is a good move for Zac at this stage of his career.

All that and a whole lot more, of course song of the week as well. Don't Miss it

We discuss the influx of international coaches to Australia in the lead up to 2032, and what's positive about it and what are some of the potential negative impacts that come with it as well.
