Hey y’all, wanted to post this here too. Check out what went into concluding that clean water yields 47% faster relay splits from @kkrirsh@SirHerb_the3rd and I. Questions and comments welcomed! bit.ly/3NvOQQ2

Interesting data analysis from USA Swimming's Corey Manley with some help from Coach Herbie Behm & Keenan Robinson.

Clean water = fast water.

To the tune of 47% on NCAA relays!

Learn to float on your back. It will save your life

The last time I went to the World Conference on Drowning Prevention, a presenter showed an interview with a 20-something year old Chinese woman.

She had never swum a day in her life but one day found herself on a boat. Well, the boat sank and she was thrown into the sea.

In the interview, she says that when she was younger she was told if she was to ever fall in, just get on your back. All you have to do is get on your back and float.

Well, this lady floated for over 20 hours before finally being rescued. With zero swim lessons.

3 cheers for water safety education!
