I'd love to challenge someone to set up a video feed of upcoming nationals meets. I'd pay money to be able to see my races on video, and my friends and family would appreciate it as well. Real time would be great, but not necessary. Decent camera work would be a plus. I'd pay extra to focus on me and not the guy pulling away from me in the next lane...
You could start small, and just take pre-orders for specific lanes and/or full heats with a few cameras.
Someone might be able to make money doing this? Whaddaya think?

While I mentioned YouTube in the heading for this post, I did not stress it in the post itself. My bad.
Posting the video online is a key part of what I was thinking of. It allows you to let people that are not at the meet see you, and it allows you to watch yourself (over and over, at your leisure).
I was hoping to get someone else to do all the legwork too....
I'm hoping that the progression that has gotten us from nothing online a few years ago to real time text results online as standard practice in 2007 continues to advance towards real-time video online. The whole web 2.0 thing, you know.
Maybe if we dropped mentos into a coke bottle at the next swim meet, it would end up on YouTube.
