The Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool is Tuesday
In just its second year, the Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool – held this year in Irvine, Calif., on Aug. 2 – will be a coming out party for some young stars, a chance for established stars to continue their domination and a chance for standouts entering their final quadrennial to further cement their legacies.

I don't believe any of the statements they made. I say this because I've been a swimmer for 27 years and have been around many, many swimmers.
** Most swimmers do not go through 17 suit changes in a year. They might go through five. They get a couple of drag suits and then they buy another when one wears out because they don't take care of them. And then one or two competition suits, one for unshaved meets, one or two more for the big meets. I've only had three suits in the past three years: one drag suit that has not faded in two years, one regular competition suit and one Aquablade. Even when I was sponsored by Speedo, I only got (read: asked for) eight suits in those two years.
** Not even Larsen Jensen could swim 2,184 practice hours. Even if you include dryland. The top swimmers are actively working out 6 hours a day, and many don't swim every day, and swim less during taper and meet days. The only person I can see doing this is Michael Phelps, who swims every day. He'd log in 2,190 hours. And he's not typical.
I can't vouch for the goggle adjustments, but it seems like a lot in one year. I think that swimmer needs tighter or new goggles.
