I know it's early and there's many races to go but --- wanted to ask the experienced swimmers here what they think of Lochte's performance so far.
Is he trying to do too much and swim too many events? I thought he'd medal every event he was in but it looks like he was out of the hardware awards in the 200 freestyle.
Also --- a general question: What's the purpose of the "warm-down" pool? Is it significantly warmer than the main long-course pool? Does it just promote greater relaxation? Is it a usual fixture at major competitions?
Thanks.

Which brings up and interesting question of WHO is going to be swimming the 4th spot on the relay tonight. I think Phelps should do it because he has never done it and he was the fastest at trials and would love to see him against Yannick Angel since we did not get to see him swim that event.Nice match-up. This could look a lot like 1984 with Phelps playing the part of Bruce Hayes and Angel playing the part of Michael Groß.
