The head-to-head “super heat” is kind of dramatic; I ‘think’ I like it. Maybe also helps stretch the rest period for swimmers who make multiple finals. Adds another dimension to prelims, too. I wonder if third place who comes within a few hundredths in prelims feels a bit denied a chance at that glory matchup?
I love this video coverage with no pre-race and post race. A single camera is my favorite. Camera stays still, no panning around and zooming in and out. This lets ME decide which lanes to focus on.

What’s up with the 2 swimmers in that A Final? Does anyone like this?
It sets up a blockbuster head-to-head matchup.
Seemed like our audience was 50/50 going into the meet but after watching it they liked it.
i just feel like there are swimmers seeded 3rd, 4th and 5th and 6th who are losing out on an opportunity to swim against the very best swimmers at the meet.
Yeah…when you don’t swim fast enough in prelims you miss out on the opportunity to swim against the very best swimmers at the meet.
So swim faster in prelims if that’s important to you 🤷♂️
Thanks for posting these!
Does anybody have intel on where to find video of Rex’s and/or Carson’s 500s?
Wisconsin taped all of their races. You can see most of the Texas swims through Wisconsin’s YouTube channel. Unfortunately Wisconsin didn’t have a finalist in the men’s 500, so they didn’t tape that heat.
I haven’t heard of a video for either Carson’s time trial or Rex’s swim.
