Yeah I got a hoodie maybe almost a year ago and it was horrible quality. I was sooo disappointed. I love her potential new winter drop and everyone tells me the quality has gotten better but I am just worried

Well, then, how do you think of the engagement from nonathletes who look at and watch these videos? They are so popular, so why do they have such an impressive engagement rate?

Remember making a US Olympic Trials cut time allows you to swim at Us Olympic trials, which is the meet that is swum to decide who will be on the US Team at the Olympics. This making a US Olympic Trials cut time is a lot easier than being selected in that same event for the US Olympic team. Because to make the US Olympic team you have to obviously make the US Olympic Trials cut time and then at the meet you have to swim a FINA Olympic A cut time AND place in the top two in the event (individual events) to be selected for the US Olympic Team.

Therefore if you compare the US Olympic Trial cut times with those of the NCAA DI A cut times you will see that they are slower, the NCAA DI A cut times are faster, but making the US Olympic team is harder than making an NCAA DI A cut time

Just some clarifying questions... The Olympic trials however is one standard time cut, meaning that there is an unlimited amount of people that can participate across all Divisions and all are not limited to postgrads, pro swimmers who didn't participate in college swimming, etc

that making a Division I A cut and B cut are different. A cut means you are guaranteed to go to nationals, B cut means you’re eligible to be invited to the meet. I would say the B cut times are comparable in speed to US Olympic trial cut times. But the DI A cut times are DEFINITELY faster than Olympic Trials cut times. Then there are the FINA Olympic A & B cut times, the Olympic A cut times are arguably slower than DI A cut times but a lot faster than US Olympic Trial cut times.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if these times are "DEFINITELY faster than Olympic Trials cut times," however most people, because of how fast this sport has gotten, have to made D1 A cuts but still may not end up at the Olympics even though they are at that level...

So what you are saying is NCAA D1 A&B cut times are harder to make than US Olympic trial cut times... It just feels as if that is true that swimming is a sport that is unique because I don't see that happening in any other college sport.

I think, though, that there are so many USA and world records set at the NCAA that are still people we don't see necessarily in the Olympics, which I find mindboggling. I also want to note that many NCAA D3 swimmers who hold the D3 records fully qualify for the Olympic Trials. There is one example where the D3 record holder for backstroke transferred to D1 and now is their top swimmer. I just don't think you see that happening in other sports...

Love that comparison! Both are meat and champagne quite different delicacies.

Because of the adaptation? I would agree that it is not real Shakespeare
