I wondered aloud on Twitter why it seems like every swim is capped with the the top three or four finishers beating the world record green line, and got a ton of answers right away. Many of them linked me to this article. In short, it’s a “fast pool,” because it’s deeper and has empty lanes on either side. Couple that with the new shark-skin style Speedo LZRs, and swimmers are going faster than ever. Some people think this pool will eventually be controversial. The question becomes: will that taint Michael Phelps’ accomplishments? In my eyes, you wouldn’t be able to argue with his medals, but you might be able to dispute his times.
