    The Enhanced Games is one of sport’s most controversial concepts. A multi-sport event where athletes, under medical supervision, are allowed to take performance enhancing drugs. The aim is to break world records in swimming, sprinting and weightlifting events for a total prize of 25 million dollars. There has been widespread criticism from sporting authorities and anti-doping bodies to the Games.

    In this special “Fish Outta Water” edition of Unfiltered Waters, Katie sits down with a group of elite swimmers to talk about something other than swimming. Recorded during the USA Swimming Pro Swim Series in Austin, this episode highlights the passions, hobbies, and talents that these athletes pursue outside the pool. From Carson Foster embracing life as a devoted dog dad, to Matt King designing and handcrafting luxury leather bags, Luke Hobson chasing trophy bass on the water, and Becca Mann building a career as a published author, the conversations reveal the creative, curious, and human sides of athletes we usually only see behind the blocks. It’s a reminder that the best performers aren’t defined by a single pursuit—and that having passions beyond sport can make athletes stronger, more balanced, and more fulfilled both in and out of the water.

    Meet James Pittar, an extraordinary Australian athlete who refuses to let his disability define him. Despite being blind since his youth due to a rare hereditary condition, James sets out to achieve the unthinkable: becoming the first blind person to complete the grueling 48km Manhattan Island Marathon Swim. This documentary follows James and his dedicated support team, including Dolly and his trainers, as they navigate the treacherous tides of the Harlem River, Mil Rock, and the East River. Witness the emotional and physical toll of 9 hours in the water and discover how James uses his other senses to conquer one of the world’s most iconic open-water challenges. It’s a powerful story of grit, heart, and the “freakish” determination of a man who believes the only true handicap is in the mind.
