I stopped by usaswimming.com today, and noticed an announcement for the Dual in the Pool, which is tomorrow. At this point, does anyone even care? The battle on the Women’s side should be interesting, but the Men’s events are going to be a joke. Also, they added a cheap gimmic – the “power play”, meaning that the coaches can choose any event they want and double their points. It was an interesting idea when both teams were fairly even (and even then, the United States dominated) but at this point shouldn’t they just give it up?
And with that being said, I’ll be sure to tune in to NBC on April 21 and 22 so I can catch the broadcast….
