Heading into the 2023 championship season, the Georgia men’s team looks very different at the top than in 2022. Gone is NCAA and Short Course World Champion Matthew Sates, and following a shoulder injury suffered mid race at the Indianapolis World Cup last fall, the Dawgs are without NCAA &amp; American record holder Luca Urlando. That’s a lot of points to replace, but 2021 NCAA 500 free Champion Jake Magahey will lead this UGA men’s team and both Jake and Luca Urlando are confident in the ability of the rest of the squad to step up, as evidenced by the level of training they showcase in Athens on a daily basis. Jake Magahey will look to take advantage of the absence of both Sates and Florida star Olympian Kieran Smith in the distance events. Luca Urlando is at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado doing rehab and preparing his body for a push toward the 2024 Olympic Trials. While many miles apart, these roommates stay connected and speak of the great impact Luca Urlando still has on his UGA teammates while he’s away. Enjoy!

Georgia and USA Swimming SuperStars Luca Urlando and Jake Magahey take us inside their team dynamic

We sat down with Luca Urlando to catch up and get some perspective on his swimming career so far. Urlando talks about how he sustained his shoulder injury in January, recovering from said injury, and how he's been training throughout this quarantine period.  Perhaps most thrilling of all though is Urlando was kind enough to share with SwimSwam what his Top 3 swims all-time were (in his mind), as well as the top 3 swims he's witnessed.  Music: Otis McDonald www.otismacmusic.com
