How many guys from other countries does it take to win a National Championship?
Good thing they all attended classes on campus the entire year..... :-)
Makes everyone feel proud to see the American Record holder on the 4th place podium.
I get it that we're concerned for men swimming in the U.S. I have boys. Maybe they'll swim. I should be concerned for them. But, IMO, as long as it's legal to have foreign swimmers it's silly to think coaches are going to settle for 8th place at NCAA's just so they can be patriotic. They're hired to win.
I agree.
I do want to support and have USA swimming improve, but not by putting up "trade barriers." Let's compete by being better in the pool, in the classroom, etc.
I compete in my professional career every single day against people globally; the sooner our kids realize this, the better.
