And therein lies their kind of shared DNA or wisdom.

At the same time, what's good for longevity is orthogonal to performance.

And what's good for performance is typically at odds with longevity.

So these are actually oppositional forces.

But they are both pushing the outer limits on what's possible.

And I can see why Brian's attracted to what's happening in this world.

Well, and I would also argue that the pool didn't look like a fast pool.

I mean, a four-lane pool is not a setup for breaking world records, especially if you're in an end lane or you're doing anything more than 50 meters.

Because once you...

do your flip turn and come off the wall, a four-lane pool is going to generate a lot more wave motion.

on the way back than a 10 lane pool, which is an Olympic pool where the outside lanes are empty.

There's so much more space to make sure that not just the surface of the water, but underneath is calm.

And that makes a huge difference.

I don't know how deep the pool was.

I think it was something like six feet.

Six feet, it didn't look deep.

But even that is a little bit shallow, I think.

So it wasn't a pool that was constructed

in a way that would lend itself to breaking world records.

But anyway.
