American record-holder in the 500 Free Rex Maurer took the win in his signature event this morning at the 2025 Eddie Reese Showdown… and then some. Maurer flipped at the 500 mark in 4:12.8, but unsure if he still had an additional lap to swim or not, he kept swimming for another 50 yds. He still handily won the race (with the time he registered with his flip turn at the 500 mark) by over 1 second.
Maurer then goes on to discuss winter training in Austin and shares 2 sets that stood out to the sophomore during the hard training block.
