I'm ok with 25m pool but not at the expense of 50m pool, especially when Sea games have same type events. World Athletics (formerly IAAF) has had proper naming of events which should be followed. It's like calling you by your neigbours name and expecting you to respond the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably why they have it named that way Edited December 7, 2019 by Olympian1010 Fly_like_a_don 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Who knows, it'd be cool if this is a stepping stone to good results (or even participating) in some major competitions. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
