Today's guest on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast is Lisandra de Carvalho, a Brazilian-born swimmer now making waves in Melbourne, Australia. As we navigate through her impressive swimming journey, you'll hear how she transitioned from a top National Age Group swimmer in Brazil to training with elite coaches in the US, ultimately earning an athletic scholarship to swim at UMBC and now conquering masters swimming as a number one world ranked butterflier.

Lisandra shares her thoughts on training as a masters swimmer, and what works for her. She is a big believer in recovery technique, with massage, ice baths and accupuncture being cornerstones of her weekly schedule. We dissect her strategies for conquering the 200 butterfly event and discuss pacing, the importance of rhythm and her tips to manage both physical and mental hurdles during the race. We also delve into the emotional aspects of competing, touching on the unique pressures and satisfactions that come with high-level performance.

Lisandra lends her insights on pool swimming versus ocean swimming, favourite training routines and mindfulness techniques that enhance both physical and mental health.

This episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast offers a rich blend of inspiration, practical advice, and heartfelt stories from the world of competitive swimming. Tune in for a refreshing dive into the life and experiences of Lisandra de Carvalho
