SwimSwam Podcast: Jessica Hardy on World Record’s in Practice w/ Soni, Efimova

I'm so impressed that Hardy was able to develop and harness an elite-level freestyle and breaststroke and freestyle simultaneously; I don't think we've someone do it at her level since. She was a world championship medalist in breaststroke and freestyle relays... at the same meet. According to Hardy, as long as it was short, she would do it. She also claims to have never been beaten in practice by her USC breaststroke contemporaries and training partners: Rebecca Soni and Yulia Efimova. To be fair, she admits Soni mostly trained in the distance group, and when they would go head-to-head it was mostly 50's with MAYBE a 100 or two thrown in.
