He is joking. No one goes to swim meets. The only people that show up are family and close friends. I swam my whole life and my sisters swam in college. It is the most boring sport ever.
Interesting viewpoint considering you and your family’s history. Do you think it’s only popular at Olympics time with the majority of Americans because we win so much? Seems to have great interest then and at World Championships. Have been watching every night of the trials and really enjoying it.

The difference is that you are seeing usually the finals of said event, so 1st and 2nd are in, with some alternates. What you are not seeing is the 100 different heats of that event in prelims to try and get into the finals.
That is what makes swimming so boring. There might be 500 people that make the qualifying time in that event, so 500/8 is how many heats (races) that are done, prior to the “finals” heat that is the Top 8 swimmers from Prelims. It’s is always popular around the olympics because we are watching the “finals” heat, vs the ones that were for seeding to try and be top 8.
