Hello swim fans!

The Men's NCAA Division I Championships kicks off today at 6 pm EST with a pair of relays (200 Medley & 800 Free). It's sure to be a FAST session to start off an even faster meet. Be sure to tune into ESPN+ over these next 4 days & nights to catch some of the best swimmers on the planet throw down in Indy!

If you're unable to watch, check me out on Twitter/X as I'll be calling as much of the meet as I can!

It's Official: Owen Lloyd will be invited to the 2024 National Championships and swim in the fast heat of the 1650y Freestyle 

I'm seeing a lot of people ask for updates on the Owen Lloyd DQ. Most are wondering about an appeal, others wonder if the official(s) got fired, and some of you might be wondering about Owen himself. Here's what I can say right now:

I briefly spoke with Owen: He says he's doing good and getting back into the groove of things.

As far as I'm aware, no appeal of the result has been filed & nobody has been removed from their officiating position. I'm hearing rumblings of a possible rule change being talked about in some circles, but it's all speculation at this time.

Also, you all know that Owen lost his A-Cut (auto bid to NCAA's) with this DQ. However, his listed best time of  14:41 .32 puts him in a REALLY good position to be invited to the NCAA Championships (March 27th-30th). 

Can't say I expected that!

Owen Lloyd's DQ got a lot more eyes on it than I could have predicted, and as a result, a massive discussion is ongoing in the comments that I can't keep track of. I'd like to try and get a better understanding of people's perception of this situation so if you could take the time to vote below on which take you best align with that would be super swell.

Thanks everyone! 

Hi everyone! Thanks for your support of the channel so far, it really means a lot to me 💙 

Sorry for being inactive, had a lot of things come up. More "A Look Back" episodes are in the works among other videos so just keep being patient as I get them over the finish line!

Also, I want to let everyone know that starting today, you're gonna see a LOT of activity on the channel as we get closer to the 2024 World Swimming Championships. Hopefully what I've been working on makes you laugh, or at least chuckle a bit 😊

Thanks again for being a part of this swim media journey of mine, and as always, good night and good swim bro 👍🏻 

A new episode of "A Look Back" drops next Monday! What race do you think it's about?
