Might head on down. Ticket prices will have a big impact on my decision.

No. They swim from one end to the other, and in many races, back again.

Might not be everyones cup of tea but I think the place will be chockers with people everynight especially with the quality of the field they are talking about. Not really into swimming other than when we are winning medals at Commonewealth & Olympic games but think i'd go for a look seeing as its going to be here.

Im with you A Mum, think its a great pick up for the state, expect Magnussen will earn quite a bit of attention from the locals..all 10 of them... once he is poolside. Would think most of those aussie swimmers would swim at Bolivar if it meant getting an olympic spot, will be interesting how he goes.
Trust the process.

He cracked the shits on twitter about Adelaide getting picked for the venue, rubbishing our fine city quite harshly in the process.

Agree with those who say this is boring, watching someone swim back and forth is nothing to get excited about.

While swimming as a sport doesn't interest me too much at all, its great to see Adelaide be given such a significant event.
