Listen "FIFTIES at NCAAs"
Episode Synopsis
Glenn Mills and Wayne discuss the potential inclusion of the 50-meter event in NCAA swimming, proposed by the College Swimming Coaches Association (CSCA). They highlight concerns about the event's underwater nature, which may not appeal to spectators. Wayne emphasizes the need for adaptability in coaching to accommodate both sprint and distance events. They debate the impact on longer events, suggesting incentives like bonus points for swimmers competing in multiple distances. Glenn proposes giving more points for longer events to balance the focus. They also discuss the importance of engaging parents and the potential for increased participation if NCAA swimming becomes more visible on TV.
