Bruce Gemmell is an Olympic swim coach for Nation's Capital Swim Club (NCAP), USA Swimming's premier club team with 14 locations, 1800+ athletes, and 65+ coaches. Most recently they produced three Olympians: Katie Ledecky (the GOAT), Andrew Gemmell (Bruce's son), and Jack Conger.
Bruce was an OT qualifier himself, swimming at the University of Michigan, where he learned all about energy zones and Jon Urbanchek's famous color system.
In this conversation, Brett asks a lot of questions about training Katie Ledecky and his own son, Andrew, who was training partners with her leading up to the 2016 Rio Games.
