Cal Swim Stars Destin Lasco and Hugo Gonzalez ready for the International stage - a podcast by The Social Kick

The Cal Bears rolled through NCAA Swimming Championships once again this year and we caught up with two of their biggest point scorers, 200 backstroke champion Destin Lasco and the 2022 400 IM champ Hugo Gonzalez.

Life is changing a bit for the training partners, as Hugo Gonzalez has finished his collegiate eligibility and will now split time between training environments in Berkeley and his native Spain. Destin Lasco comes off yet another ridiculous short course season, having estabilshed himself as arguably the second best swimmer at the meet behind Leon Marchand, and turns to the long course pool where his event schedule may look entirely different.

How is it that two training partners who both race the short course 200 IM and 200 backstroke swim completely different events in long course? Listen and find out!
