The first meets of the International Swim League aren’t too far away, with the schedule now listed on the ISL website. The very first meet is just a month away, with the Cali Condors, DC Trident, Aqua Centurions, and Energy Standard converging in Indianapolis for an October 5-6 matchup.
This evening, SwimSwam captured some video content from a live discussion with the four U.S.-based team owners: Lenny Krayzelburg (LA Current), Tina Andrew (NY Breakers), Jason Lezak (Cali Condors), and Kaitlin Sandeno (DC Trident). The four managers fleshed out some more details behind their process with recruiting, how scoring will work at meets, how training will look for the athletes, and more.
Tickets for U.S. meets (excluding the final championship in Las Vegas) will go on sale on Friday.
My main question about the ISL:
How does Lenny Krayzelburg STILL look like a contestant on The Bachelorette?
Have meet operation details been shared? Like where are the officials/ meet director coming from? What timing system will be used?
ISL has a couple posts and the Mike Westphal article is blowing up……not good for ISL which needs more money and effective marketing!
Ehh the Dressel post got a lot of attention. Got a ton of attention on the gram too
One question I have is this. Is the 400 IM a part of the program. I’ve seen some articles saying it is and some saying it isn’t so I’m not sure if it will be involved.
Question!!!! Will the ISL keep ISL or world records because FINA is too babyish to ratify them?
Off topic, no one has mention about Mark Spitz’s heart condition.
Seriously? What is going on? HIPPA
he released it himself lol. No HIPPA
So Eurosport has the broadcasting rights but I believe that I read somewhere that it won’t be broadcast in Australia. Is this true?
