It’s 2024 and you know what that means, OLYMPIC YEAR!
To kick off this Olympic Year we brought on a very special guest for this week’s episode: Kyle Stolk, a retired Team Netherlands Olympic Swimmer. One of the reasons Leah and I started this blog/podcast project was to share our experiences after retiring collegiate swimming. In this episode of Worlds Apart Words Together, Kyle talks about his journey into professional swimming, sharing some favorite memories from his competitive days, and delving into the challenges of transitioning back to everyday life after years of dedicating himself to the sport.
Tune in for a first hand conversation between Kyle and Leah and Marit, while we offer unique insights into the highs and lows of pursuing Olympic dreams and rediscovering identity beyond the pool.
