By Gold Medal Mel Stewart on SwimSwam
Today on the GMM podcast we have 50 freestyle Olympic and World Champion Cameron McEvoy. This sprint star, known as The Professor, has done more than win medals, he has revolutionised training in a way I don’t think we can turn back from.
Cameron, a graduate from Griffith University with a bachelor’s in physics and mathematics, trusts the data and it has rewarded him. This isn’t just another training conversation, Cameron shares the far edge of human performance and what it takes to move water at top speed. The results are undeniable, and the ripple effects are going to change how the sport thinks about sprinting.
Here’s the best part: Cameron isn’t keeping this to himself. He’s documenting it. Right now, his film is in the can, being edited. It’s coming soon, and SwimSwam will drop the release date as soon as we get it. Best of all, this won’t be behind a paywall. It’ll be free to watch on YouTube.
In this podcast we cover, and this is a taste:
- Aliens (yes, little green men) – I had to ask that question because of a famous Cameron quote.
- Weight Training & Power Blocks since Paris – And how long Cameron pushed his power block (meaning little to no swimming).
- Swimming Blocks – How much Cameron swims in total and how little he actually swims slowly (warmup).
- Cameron Business – And why he didn’t seek endorsements after the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
- Cameron Lifestyle – Marriage and fatherhood and how he has leaned into peers like Adam Peaty and Caeleb Dressel.
- Cam’s Upcoming Sprint Training Doc Film – Why he’s producing it and what went into the production.
- LA2028 – His intentions to compete in LA and beyond, and the 2032 Brisbane Olympics is not off the table.
If I missed any topics or questions, share in the comments. When Cam drops his documentary film we will unpack that media and pick up your questions.
