But if you feel like it’s not super worth your time, you can save yourself from losing more time to it in the future by quitting now. The time you’ve spent on it is in the past and there’s no getting it back, but the future holds different possibilities so do what you love

      The referee is in the frame and does not raise his hand to signal a disqualification. The swimmer touched the wall on his back, then left the wall on his back. Nothing illegal about it, just gave the rest of the field a 5 sec advantage bc he forgot how long the race was supposed to be.

The first one (swimming backstroke) messes up and stops after two lengths instead of four. The "butterfly guy" as they called him is the third out of the four to swim his lengths.

    For non-swimmers who are confused:
    I'm sure you probably know backstroke is the first one. At 0:50, the dude stopped after 50 yards or meters (two laps), not realizing it was a 400 medley relay (each leg having to swim 100y) instead of a 200 medley relay (each leg having to swim 50y). Second was breastroke, 3rd was butterfly, last is free.
    However, I do not think the relay won because a hold like that on the wall would DQ someone, and that would DQ the relay.
    Also I don't know if this is a meter pool or yard pool but judging by their time I think it's a meter pool.

      The referee is in frame, and doesn't raise his hand during the stop/turn. Their time also doesn't show as a DQ on the scoreboard. Backstroker touches the wall on his back and leaves on his back, so it seems as though it was legal, just slow since he thought he only had to do a 50.

      I'm sure you probably know backstroke is the first one. At 0:50, the dude stopped, not realizing it was a 400 medley relay instead of a 200 medley relay. Second was breastroke, 3rd was butterfly, last is free.

    I swam competitively for 8 years, and had to stop unexpectedly in 2020 due to being diagnosed with chronic illness. I miss it with every fibre of my being. Truly.
    Seeing videos like this simultaneously makes me sad (literally got goosebumps watching this because THIS is the heart of swimming I miss so much), but also so proud. This is my sport. This is our sport. This is what swimming is all about.

  • @michaelandcristinadiaz2263

    In case anyone was wondering how his coach and teammates reacted. Very supportive and understanding. They were a really great TEAM and had each other’s backs. That backstroke swimmer had only been trained in competitive swimming for six weeks before this meet. Stupid rookie mistake that he felt pretty awful about but did his best to fix. His teammates covered him. His Olympic trained coach wanted to train him for college scholarships and possible Olympics after that meet because despite his minimal training, he still placed in the top third at that meet.

      You're not wrong... kind of. 😂 The wake a swimmer produces is key to the theory that the middle lanes are fastest. Setting the pace in the middle of the pool will have the least resistance, as there is less choppy water caused by the wake from other swimmers.

    And that right there is why I love swimming anchor. The adrenaline does wonders, and some of your best races are going to be the ones where you have a slow or botched lead like this one. Mistakes like this happen aaaallll the time and it is easier than you think to miscount how many laps you have done.
    I have been there before and I can promise you from my own experience, that guy swimming the freestyle could hear the cheers like a roar of thunder and felt like a titan.
    That team killed it, including the guy swimming backstroke for pushing it so hard after the blunder. Props to every one of them.
