Swim Data Crisis Looms Large with USA Swimming Time Sharing

Saison 2 · Épisode 56

lundi 13 octobre 2025 • Durée 18:46

Is USA Swimming Holding the Sport Hostage? USA Swimming's data drama is setting the sport back decades — and it's hurting athletes, families, and innovation. Here's what they're not telling you... Why Swim Times Are Disappearing Imagine training all year only for your swim times to vanish into thin air. This podcast exposes the growing blackout and the fight for data transparency. The Swim Data Crisis No One Is Talking About Developers are quitting. Parents are confused. Swimmers are in the dark. The future of competitive swimming depends on solving this data nightmare.

In this candid conversation we hear about the growing crisis around swim meet result data—why PDF‑only posting is hurting athletes, coaches, and developers. Michael Krone explains the barriers, the mis‑interpretations of privacy rules, and what's on the horizon.

What you'll learn:

Why parsing PDFs for meet times is a dead‑end solution for the sport.
How LSEs misread USA Swimming's privacy policy and are removing raw result files.
The impact on third‑party tools like MySwim IO and Swim Standards.
USA Swimming's planned API rollout (estimated 4‑5 months) and its limitations.
Action steps for coaches, parents, and developers to push for open, accessible meet data.

The Single: Vintage Vibes, Machine Made

Saison 2 · Épisode 55

mercredi 8 octobre 2025 • Durée 03:16

After repeated requests, this single is being lifted from the rewind show, #50, at the end of season one and put into its own episode.

CDs were pressed and offered at The Eastern States Clinic and elsewhere, but too few have CD players. Go figure. Enjoy the tune delivered by recycled electrons. Its message is a calling for you to do a complete rewind of the prior episodes. Binge on the content and skip into the future with confidence! But no running on the pool deck.

This song shows what happens when AI writes a track for a gritty show about real human struggle in swimming and coaching.

Heavy Or Not: The Single is a machine-made, vintage-inspired musical experiment that hits like a lost 45 RPM classic—pressed with purpose, soaked in soul, and spun by artificial intelligence.

This isn't just another song release. It's what happens when emotion meets algorithm.
And it's about to change how we think about music, storytelling, and tech.

Want to feel vintage vibes without breaking the bank?
Ever wonder what it sounds like when AI creates art that hits you in the gut?
Think old-school records are dead? Let this track prove you wrong.
If you love real music with a twist you won't see coming—keep listening.
Warning: You may not believe a machine made this…

Whether you're a nostalgic crate-digger, a future-focused creator, or just someone who loves a good story set to music—this one's for you.

Hit play. Heavy Or Not… you decide. And, let us know.

If you want help in crafting your own song for your team, an ISCA travel meet, senior night or the team banquet, then subscribe and then attend our roundtable discussions. We would love to share your song in a future episode.

Direct River Abstraction to Vertical Aquatic and Invites to Real Talk and Growth

Saison 1 · Épisode 42

samedi 5 juillet 2025 • Durée 09:47

42 is with a call to action and some calls to meet. More from Mick & Sue.

Protecting the Thames River near London

A much-loved open water swimming spot near Teddington on the River Thames is at risk.

Thames Water's proposed Teddington Direct River Abstraction (TDRA) scheme plans to remove up to 75 million liters of river water daily during droughts, replacing it with treated sewage effluent pumped year-round from the Mogden Sewage Treatment Works.

This spot is more than just a body of water. It's a sanctuary for swimmers, paddlers, rowers, dogs, and entire communities. Thousands rely on it for physical health, mental wellbeing, and meaningful connection.

Simon Griffiths's call in Outdoor Swimmer made this call to stop that plan.

Here's how you can help:

Deadline: August 26, 2025

✅ Send an email to: TDRA@ipsos.com

Use your own words, or adapt this message:

I object to Thames Water's TDRA scheme. Discharging treated sewage into a treasured recreational stretch of the Thames, year-round, is unacceptable. This river supports thousands of water users and wildlife. Sustainable solutions like fixing existing leakage—currently over 600 million liters per day—should come first. Please register my objection formally with the Planning Inspectorate.
