In this episode of Life in Lane 4, I sit down with Matvei Namakonov, a senior at the University of Delaware, two-time NCAA qualifier, and the 18th all-time performer nationally in the 100 breaststroke. We talk about his experience at the 2026 NCAA Championships, including making the A final, and what it takes to compete at that level. He shares how to approach a meet with purpose, stay locked in across multiple days of racing, and what separates good swimmers from great ones. We also get into how he built strong study habits and balanced academics with high-level swimming throughout his time at Delaware. This episode is about discipline, consistency, and making the most of every opportunity.
