  • Originally posted by Allen Stark I have complained about swim announcers, especially Rowdy before so I won't get into another rant. I was at World Masters Games in Edmonton and USA Swimming should get their announcer. He announced hundreds of heats and made them all sound exciting. It was amazing.(Unfortunately ,since it was seeded by time and not age he frequently missed commenting on great swims by older swimmers.) Speaking of announcer issues. I noticed during the women's 100 ***, one of the announcers said that (I forget now) I think it was Jones, had a terrible start and was slow off the blocks compared to Hardy, however, Jones did a standard start, and hardy a track start which is naturally faster off the blocks anyway. Am I missing something, or was that a misleading statement?
