SK269 Tommy Neill

This week on The Social Kick, we’re joined by Australian swimmer Tommy Neill — winner of back-to-back Olympic bronze medals in the 4×200 freestyle relay for Australia in Tokyo and Paris, both times anchoring his team to the podium.

After stepping away from the pool to recover from a shoulder injury, finish his business degree, and reflect on life beyond swimming, Tommy is back in full training — sharper, more grounded, and more motivated than ever.

We dig into:

• How he navigated time away from elite sport

• The mental reset that’s fueling his comeback

• What it takes to earn a relay spot in swim-crazy Australia

• His goals for the next chapter

It’s a conversation about resilience, purpose, and finding joy in the grind.
