Me. I want to see fast times 

I honestly don’t get your guys logic. We have good racing at pretty much every single World Championships and Olympics… and this time around the times are slow?

I feel like only real swim nerds actually care about the times.

 

Ordinary viewers are just happy to see a good race 

But then that means you’re pretty much calling everyone here an ordinary viewer?

What a race for O'Callaghan  

[Epic Failure 355]

I would prefer to have fast times *and* competitive races. But if I'm only going to get one, I'll choose races any day of the week.

 

However, if the issues with the pools are as true as people are claiming - and I'm not smart enough about the physics to doubt those saying that - my only worry is that the waves might be actually impacting the swimmers in certain lanes more. Which doesn't necessarily then give the best swimmer the best chance. It might be giving more 'limited' swimmers a better chance because of the luck of things like lane draws.
