@TerribleMaps 240 cfu/100ml is the threshold for swimming in most states. FWIW.

Fittingly, the one remaining yellow spot in 2020 appears to be Flushing Bay.

@Braden_Keith Sounds like Summer McIntosh is eligible

Feels like the NCAA is taking a new tact. They’re tired of getting sued, so they’re going to say ‘yes’ to everything until Congress intervenes. Brinksmanship at its finest. But probably the only road out of shit shitshow.

@AnonMidMgr You had a great one, once upon a time

Time to focus on podcasts. #OnePride

@DefectorMedia Have you tried reading Gravity’s Rainbow?

Why is this Great American Novelist's swan song stuffed with so much goofball nonsense? Because Thomas Pynchon is funny. defector.com/thomas-pynchon…

@UKSwimDive This isn’t helpful without scores

🧵MEET RESULTS! @ LSU - 10/24

@UKSwimDive Tweet the score, guys

🧵Dual Meet Results! vs. Indiana - 10/22

@SteveWoodUS Time to retire?

Never thought I'd be able to say I ran a company backed by Google Now I can 😁

@WorldAquatics How high was the E. coli?

@SteveWoodUS I vote that you just retire and exercise as a hobby

After getting a standing desk I now take even less steps than I did before Apparently when I sit I feel the urge to get up and walk around, but when I'm standing I just stand there The answer is probably one of those desk treadmills

@CoachRobynR @kylesockwell Bring on the Eliminator and the Team Pursuits too!

The IOC adds 50m stroke events to the LA 2028 Olympic event lineup, and swimming media has one of its best "off-season" days in years. In pro sports, change - though rarely perfect - is usually a net positive that keeps fans engaged. What change would you want to see next?

@jasonpedersen I forgot how expensive water is there. Negligible here

@KMRyanTri Spray will probably create quite a lot of evaporation and lead to heat loss. Using a sump pump to feed a little water filled solar array would be better, I think. For now sticking with the “passive” approach (though did heat hot tub to 100F today and that will recirculate!)

My daughter is having a pool party in 27 days. Current pool temp is 63F. Will be tweeting updates until then… stay tuned!

@jasonpedersen Can you get a sump pump and spray the pool water during heat of the day back into itself? Let the hot air heat the spray. Combined with a cover, should heat up fast.

Today’s morning temp is 65F. Going to be a warm next few days (80+ tomorrow)!

@Braden_Keith You remember like everyone had these at Olympic Trials, right?

These Virginia caps are pretty sick. Was sent a photo earlier that didn’t catch how shiny the V was, but seeing the foil is cool. Everyone’s going to want foil caps now. The game done changed.

@kylesockwell Bring back the ISL, Kyle. The people believe in you.

For what it’s worth…until we have a real professional swimming league I couldn’t care less if we have 35 year olds competing in the NCAA. It’s the closest thing we have to being on a pro team.

How old is “too old” to be a College Swimmer? 👴🧓

@jacklitt1e ⚡️

With all the fast swimming at SEC's, ACC's and high school going on right now.... I just released a 50+ page PDF of a case study from last summer. If you want to change the way you think about practices. YOU NEED TO TAKE A LOOK. Comment on this post with a ⚡️and I will send you a preview.

@kylesockwell How do we get teams to stop scheduling weekday meets at 1pm?

The 4 best ways to support college swimming right now are... 1) go to a college swim meet 2) watch a college swim meet 3) talk about a college swim meet 4) become an athletic director at a university and funnel money from football and basketball into college swimming

@RonaldBollocks This is an all-time tweet, Ben. Well done.

We need to look at strength of schedule, not like they r in the Sahara trying to catch gazelles or anything. Schedule matters

@Braden_Keith The ISL was INCREDIBLE in so many ways. Payroll was not one of those things.

The greatest irony of the ISL was that the league's founders pushed hard for athletes to "unionize" (they used other words), managed by ISL folks, for a big cut of earnings. Turns out, the athletes needed a union for the ISL far more than they needed one to deal with FINA.
