I would rather swim at the next Nationals! :D
Again, it isn't a matter of knowing a lot of information about each swimmer; it's a matter of saying less, not more. For all of the races, I would congratulate the winner on a "great swim" and make sure to praise them for any broken records. But, I would not point out a swimmer beating their 200 seed time by 40 seconds (or any seed time that is slaughtered by that much time), unless I knew the swimmer. To me, it is giving positive reinforcement where it may not have been due... If she really did do that much better than she thought she would do, "Great swim!" pretty much covers it anyway.
Good grief. The (very likely) unpaid announcer is there to entertain the crowd, right? As long as he/she isn't saying anything inappropriate/offensive, what's the problem? I'm sure he was just trying to make the race interesting.:bolt:
