Any way to fix the video window so the right side does not impinge on the video screen? Other than that, super to be able to see this live & reply. Thank you!
6 lane pool hype!1. great production too
First time watching a European swimming event live and am impressed by the production! Right?! Even only a 6 lane pool! The lighting. big screen, the fans, etc. made it looks so much fun and I would like to go to one of those. I don’t think I have heard of swim event like this in US (except Olympic trial?). Maybe that’s why more US swimmers support ISL and embrace the European racing scene!
OMG… the announcers on this livestream are comical!
My thoughts exactly!!!
Kind of SNL swim-announcing.
