No disrespect to people who follow the Michael Phelps of the world, but its swimming, how complicated can it be?

I mean, with something like baseball, there's all sorts of strategy in that (sacrifice bunt, hit for average, swing for the fences? play conservative or try to steal bases? intentionally walk this good hitter or try to strike him out? do I bring in a designated hitter now? is it time to switch pitchers? etc...).

But with swimming, I don't see where you can get all that complex with it.

Exactly!

Besides the whole finale was the club trying to get into some relay.

What's your thoughts on Kuroko's Basketball?

I've never seen it myself. So I"m generally curious.
