But I think it 337 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: was an interesting one. 338 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: In all seriousness, I think it does stem from a 339 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: safety and it also it's at school, Like I think, 340 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: I remember when I was a kid, like you, did 341 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: swimming lessons at school. 342 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: So I think I actually wonder if it's like a 343 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: participation funnel, you know, like so many of us do 344 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: it and then the ones of us that don't like 345 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: it always suck. 346 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 4: And get weed it out. 347 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: Yes, always sink, I think. 348 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 3: And I also think it's probably an interesting case study 349 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: in regards to. 350 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: We have been successful. 351 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: Success breeds success, great point success breeds investment. Investment creates 352 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: more athletes in that sport. So, you know, growing up 353 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 3: as a kid watching the Olympics, it was always a 354 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 3: swimmers second week athletics. 355 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: Oh that Americans really good? But where are our people? 356 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 3: So I think, you know, I think it's probably a 357 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: really good example of you know, that investment that breed 358 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: success results in more participation and more success. 359 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: I completely agree with you. 360 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: So we kicked their butts, Yeah, we did. 361 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: In what's been dub the t twenty of swimming. Australia 362 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: has blitz the rest of the world in the Australia 363 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: versus the World Swimming event, winning one hundred and thirty 364 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: one points to one hundred and five. The first of 365 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: its kind swimming format recorded no times. I kind of 366 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: love it. Instead, it was just the first to hit 367 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: the wall. So if you hit the wall first, you've 368 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: got five points, If you hit second, you've got three points, 369 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: and you hit it third you got two points. Similar 370 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: scoring actually to our more than a game game, trivia game. 371 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: If you haven't got a Christmas present, get. 372 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 4: On that now now now. 373 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: There were over twenty races in the event and they 374 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: didn't take the traditional format of swimming events, so there 375 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: was twenty five meters sprint series. It's aw selected swimmers 376 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: racing three twenty five meter freestyle sprints across the night. 377 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: There was the four hundred meter speed Challenge where every 378 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: lap counts, with the leader at each one hundred meter 379 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: checkpoint getting a bonus point.

The faster you swam, 385 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 3: the more recovery time you have because the clock is 386 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: sticking with only two minutes to race, so you had 387 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: to get out of the pool and back on the 388 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: blocks ready to dive in again. 389 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: That one's mad. 390 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 3: And then there was some mystery events including the Mega 391 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: six by fifty meter relay, the Fans Choice Relay where 392 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 3: fans choice if it's a metal or freestyle relay just 393 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: seconds before jumping in the pool.
