Description

This episode of Heavy Or Not, The OG Swim Guide, jumps into a podcast from friend and we replay a recent releaseof Navigating Neva.  We had a sit down interview with Nicole and Wes -- and myself, Mark Rauterkus. The coach, podcaster, and ISCA contributor comes gushing about and we explore how swimming, water polo, and tech are reshaping aquatics today.

We cover:

  • How Mark launched the “Heavy Or Not” podcast and his vision for expanding its reach.
  • Using water polo to keep swimmers engaged and create a pipeline for lifelong aquatic participation.
  • Mark’s diverse coaching background—from high‑school and college pools to community programs and the Pittsburgh Public Schools “Summer Dreamers.”
  • The role of the International Swim Coaches Association (ISCA) in hosting meets, providing education, and upcoming AI‑driven tools.
  • Practical AI & CRM solutions that streamline pool operations, sponsor outreach, and coach‑parent communications.
