A has been and a never was go to a meet in Mexico. Yawn. I’ll stick with college conference meet watching.
Put the fries in the bag, Grant.
Swimswam comment section’s two favorite swimmers!
ABSOLUTELY!
I do not know how they can make the competition in this pool. The pool kind of sucks… (I have swam in it)
Don’t expect any world leading times in it. Not that we were expecting much anyway.
45 year old grant house swimming this meet is crazy, I haven’t swam in years maybe I should enter, since they’re just letting anyone in. We’ve made the same amount of Olympic teams.
They’re still allowing Grant House on a pool deck after screwing college sports?!?! He has ended 100’s of college careers and made it 10 fold harder for up and coming high schoolers to get on a roster. He shouldn’t be black balled from the sport.
The seller of the century Michael Andrew is making a return to long course for the first time since his legendary “1:00” performance in the 100m Breaststroke Trials Final!
Expectations are low!
How many times you been 1:00 in LCM Breaststroke? You can train too if you want, but I’ll die waiting.
I mean he’s not helping himself with his self published hype being I did 6x50m!
Did you do them all under :26, ending in :25.1?
It sounds like it is a slow pool so unlikely he will improve on that here. But we may get some rough idea of his form and technique.
They should intive Sun Yang too and turn it into a “most popular swimmers” meet.
He’s on the way
