Kate Douglass & Regan Smith on the benefits of a post-Paris "reset" season

Having combined for nine Olympic medals at Paris 2024, American swimmers Kate Douglass and Regan Smith deserved a little rest. The close friends join the Olympics.com podcast to discuss their downtime - and why they felt like it was so important as they both set goals ahead of LA 2028 in three years' time.

Among other topics, Douglass details an altered training approach at her collegiate alma mater in Virginia in a chat with host Nick McCarvel, while Smith opens up about her rivalry with Australia's Kaylee McKeown with Andrew Binner - and much more.

Both women are set to compete at this month's World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, where the swimming gets underway on 27 July.
