diving is just an aquatic sport so that the athletes don’t die when they’re doing it.

Why did they have a diving event today? A 6 day meet feels a bit too long.

This way they don’t have to double up diving events on one day. With how many divers there are in the meet, probably a good call.

Not going to be surprised when they split the meet by gender going forward.

They really should go to separate gender meets. After all, that is what they do at NCAAs. The Big Ten has been doing separate gender meets for quite a while. I get saving on travel, but these conference meets are clearly getting too big to hold everyone. 6 days for a college swim meet to me is a stretch.

Be more like the big ten in swimming? Why??? The men and women combine for 1 natty since 1996. Those rapscallions in the sec have over 20 in that period. Over 30 if we count the new members, vs still just 1.
