Brett, Sonny, and Nate talk about swimming. 

FINA has cancelled World Jrs in Kazan. Also, they took back the award they gave Putin back in 2014. Canada, Australia, and Scandinavia have all backed out of any meet in Belarus or Russia. Russian swimmers are allowed to compete but not under the Russian flag.  

The International Swimmers Alliance (ISA) has called for Fina & the ISL to meet to discuss a global swimming calendar because the current situation is unsustainable. Aly Tetzloff went off on the ISL on Instagram after saying they will not be able to make payments due to the war in Ukraine. April 3rd marks the beginning of Free Agency/Rookies and the 2nd ISL Draft will be held on April 23, 2022.

Minnesota's Max McHugh is swimming coming back for a 5th year. Regan Smith trying to pull off a Brendan Burns at NCAA's choosing the 2 Back/2 Fly crazy person double.
