On this week's episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we talk to John Bailey, the man who's produced the biggest swimming meets on the planet and is tasked by FINA with growing the sports audiences!
John has been pulling swimming meets out of the dark ages over recent years, having produced meets like London 2012 Games, World Aquatics Championships and the USA Olympic Swimming Trials. He's also produced live sporting events within multiple other sports including a stint at Tottenham Hotspurs' new stadium.
We talk about the latest of his creations in Sprint with the Stars, his tricks and tips for putting on some of the most entertaining live sports events in the World and his vision for how the sport of swimming can grow in the future!
