Description

The CSCAA Dual Meet Challenge were supposed to “revolutionize” college swimming…But did they? Or was it just chaos wrapped in overalls and weird bracket rules?In this clip, Dax and Elvis break down one of the strangest meets we’ve seen in years — including why the format confused everyone, why no one could understand the scoring, and why gimmicks cannot save the sport.We dig into:The NCAA / CSCAA attempt at innovation — and where it went wrongWhy the rules made zero sense (even after reading them seven times)Why swimming keeps trying gimmicks instead of fixing the productSwimming in overallsWhy marketing is swimming’s Achilles heelWhat actually makes a swim meet entertainingWhy ideas FROM swimming people usually make the sport worseAs Dax puts it:“If the idea comes from within swimming… it’s going to suck.”“Our sport is so inbred we don’t know our cousin from our uncle.”🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins. Hosted by Dax Hill (NCAA champ, Texas Longhorns legend, high-performance technique guru @Reykli) and Elvis Burrows (Bahamian Olympian, national record holder, founder of Burrow's Best swimmer hair and skin care), Night Swim is unfiltered swim culture — NCAA battles, Olympic tea, training hacks, and pool-deck chaos.
