The recent Duel in the Pool was a great showcase of some of the world’s best swimming talent. Young kids in the Indianapolis area were able to see their favorite swimmers, like Ryan Lochte and Missy Franklin, compete against some of the best European swimmers, like Gregorio Paltrinieri and Katinka Hosszu. I was not there to see the event in person, but I knew a few people that were there and said it was such a fun experience. In fact, the Duel in the Pool was what got me into swimming.
In 2003, Indianapolis hosted the very first Duel against some of the best Australian swimmers. My grandparents had come in from South Carolina to meet my whole family in Indianapolis for the meet. I didn’t know much about swimming before this. I didn’t really know who any of the swimmers were. I didn’t even know who Michael Phelps was. In fact, Larsen Jensen became my favorite swimmer that day because I thought he had a cool name.
