This is exactly what's wrong with college swimming. None of the meets matter except NCAAs. Conference championship meets don't matter. Dual meets don't matter even when 1000 people show. The entire season is a series of exhibition meets with team victories meaning nothing.

Swim Smooth's Guru app recently released for Garmin watches is sick. The Swim Insights uses the accelerometer and gyro to measure hand position on every single stroke. Then it gives you these graphics to explain exactly what each hand is doing, along with accurate graphics and suggestions

Every swimmer who opted out of SCM World Championships is kicking themselves after missing out on an incredibly fast meet that reset the WR book

Uh... Luke Hobson on the leadoff for WR #17? Breaking Biedermann's super suited record? WTF?

The best part of these SCM World Championships has been listening to the announcers get up to speed with what has been going on at UVA in SCY these last three years. The Kate/Gretchen/Alex show has been going on for some time but it hasn't translated to the international stage until now.

I don't know why I had lower expectations for KD's 200br today after she crushed the WR a month ago. Maybe its because its such a grueling event. But she crushed it yet again today.

Wow. I don't think anyone had the 4x200 WR on their bingo card. Except maybe those four. Huge swims to make that happen.

These FINA announcers always act surprised at Gretchen's reaction time off the blocks. Bobby uses it as opportunity to highlight her strong underwaters.

US National Team should double down on SCM, at least until someone figures out how to fix NCAA swimming. We're great in bathtubs and the world needs to know it.

Aussie announcer Bobby Hurley during 100 free semis on KD: "She's a breaststroker"

I'm keeping expectations in check for Day 2 finals after the last night's fireworks. 100 free semis seems like the wildcard
