Just a little more than 30 days before the "Duel in the Pool". This is one of the most creative and exciting meet formats that USA Swimming has come up with yet. It's the US vs Australia. It's a duel meet format. The best men and women swimmers from each team compete in a limited number of events, head-to-head for bragging rights of the best swimming team in the world.

If the teams are tied then the outcome is decided by a mixed 200 medley relay.
Predictions anyone?
Australia has Thorpe but we have Phelps and Coughlin. Australia has edge in men's freestyle events but we more depth in the strokes. I'm rooting for a close meet because it would be very exciting to see a tie-breaker medley relay BUT US should win it without the relay (why don't they swim it anyway?) .
Whole meet should take three hours or less, is scheduled for Sunday April 6th in Indy and will be broadcast the following week on network TV.
It seem to me that all the guys in the 400 medley relay did their best times and that Moses broke a minute in the *** even going faster than the world record holder. I know rolling start but still a darn good time. Check it out. I was at a meet so didn't get to see it but got to see the NCAA mens championships. Did u say it will be on again this next weekend???
