How is this action any different than a person leaving company A to work at company B? Typically people seek out better benefits, better work environment, and of course better pay.
Capitalism and self preservation. Plain and simple
Not true. We have to keep aspects about what makes US superior in the pool within the USA.
Japanese guy just went 2:06.6 Long Course Meters 200 Breaststroke.
We have reason to be concerned about losing our dominance in world swimming.
Japan has less interaction with American coaching than most countries. I'd love some Japanese secret sauce for my breaststroke.I just saw the video for that record and it was impressive.
Seems like they have had the secret YumYum sauce for awhile.

We had the secret sauce with Mike Barrowman for 200 ***, but lost it. :bitching:
