Erkhes Enkhtur: From Mongolia to Spire Academy

Описание: GMM by ‪@SwimOutletGear‬
There’s a certain quiet confidence that comes from longevity. You don’t need to thump your chest when the résumé does the talking. This GMM podcast brings together Thad Schultz, one of the most experienced coaches in swimming, and Erkhes Enkhtur, a rising international talent rewriting Mongolian’s swimming-history-books from the lanes of SPIRE Academy.

Thad’s coaching career spans more than 25 years across club, collegiate, and national-team pipelines. As the Director of Aquatics at SPIRE he’s developed:

20+ Olympic swimmers
18 NCAA All-Americans
Dozens of state and sectional champions

Erkhes Enkhtur is carving a lane entirely his own. At SPIRE, Erkhes has become a record-breaking force for Mongolian swimming, competing internationally at events like the Asian Youth Games and setting national records across backstroke and breaststroke. Erkhes' journey is interesting. In Mongolia he trained in a three-lane, 70 meter pool with only one block. He’s forthcoming, funny and ambition about the future, and he credits Spire Academy with ramping-up his development and opportunities scholastically and athletically. 

In this conversation, we wrap-up Junior Nationals results, Spire's holiday training camp in St. Thomas, and their upcoming meet schedule over 2026. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
