When I saw the scoreboard, I thought how awesome it would be to swim a a backstroke race or the back leg of the IM. You'd see your split, you'd see the running clock. You'd know what pace you're on.
Of course, the Trials is more about place than time, so I doubt people are actively going for world records.
I also thought that some of the screens might show live feeds of the swimmers in action. Imagine Piersol seeing himself on screen in the last 50 of his 200 back: "Wow! I look GOOD!" He'd slow down to admire himself, and Ryan Lochte or someone else will slip right by him in the stretch.
Of course, I'd do the same thing.
