Steve Parry and Karen Pickering head to Great Britain’s World Class Swimming Programme centre at Loughborough University to chat to swimmers, coaches, a nutritionist and a lifeguard as they reflect on a year of staggering success in the pool.

They catch up with leading coach Mel Marshall and Tokyo medallists James Wilby and Luke Greenbank. Two young swimmers give some insight into life in Loughborough and Alice Dearing discusses her historic year as she became GB's first black Olympic swimmer.

They also chat with veteran Loughborough coaches Ian Armiger and Mike Peyrebrune - and discuss what they miss about life as a full-time swimmer (if anything).
