I am sad to see that my point about respecting that the swimmers (and divers!) need to at least try to make a return on investment did not sink in to the CEO of British Swimming. He should be the happiest of all about the Splash-show! You can't buy publicity like that! And in stead he demeans it. We had a similar experience three years ago when Lotte Friis was the first swimmer ever to be invited to compete in "Dancing with the stars". Everybody thought "WHAT A CHANCE FOR SWIMMING EXPOSURE" ... but the national coach openly critizied it in the media.
