Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat does it take to build a masters swim community that actually lasts? Coach and athlete Dominic Tsui joins us to share how Fast Lane Masters in Hong Kong grew from a couple of swimmers in a rented lane into a culture-rich squad chasing podiums across Asia. From his first video analysis sessions to guiding relays that snag gold and break records, Dominic shows how consistency, simple technical priorities, and a clear meet calendar can transform adult swimmers at every level.We dig into the essentials that matter most: why breathing is the foundation for speed and body position, how to time exhale and inhale to unlock rhythm, and the drills and sets that produce real gains without burning athletes out. Dominic unpacks his go-to 6-1-6 scull drill for freestyle and his broken 400s structure at 200 pace to build aerobic strength and race-readiness. He also shares how the indoor Wan Chai pool unlocked early morning and noon training, making it possible for busy professionals to swim year-round without sun exposure. Along the way, we revisit highlights from World Championships in Singapore, relay thrills in Nagoya and Guangzhou, and the lessons that come from balancing a full coaching load with personal goals after injury.We also zoom out to the broader scene: why Hong Kong’s masters community is surging, how open water groups at Repulse Bay and Stanley pull 20 to 30 swimmers every weekend, and why six local meets a year keep squads motivated with team points and friendly rivalries. Dominic explains the two-track model that works for adults—development for technique and training for competition—and hints at plans to add structured dryland by partnering with a nearby gym. It’s a candid look at what motivates adults to show up, what great coaching feels like, and how a clear goal on the calendar can turn effort into habit.Subscribe, share with a swim friend, and leave a quick review to help more athletes find the show. Connect with Dominic                                                                                    Instagram                                                                                                            Website                                                                                                                     Hong Kong Swim Meets LinkSupport the showYou can connect with Torpedo Swimtalk:WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeSign up for our Newsletter Support the show Leave us a reviewTorpedo Swimtalk is sponsored by AMANZI SWIMWEAR#swim #swimmer #swimming #mastersswimmer #mastersswimmers #mastersswimming #openwaterswimmer #openwaterswimmers #openwaterswimming #swimminglover #swimmingpodcast #mastersswimmingpodcast #torpedoswimtalkpodcast #torpedoswimtalk #tstquicksplashpodcast #podcast #podcaster #podcastersofinstagram #swimmersofinstagram #swimlife #swimfit #ageisjustanumber #health #notdoneyet
