## Resource

We debate the elimination of B-finals at NCAAs. Is the meet now dead? We propose a better solution (top 3 auto to A-final + semifinals) and Elvis predicts B-finals return within 1–2 years because “swimming is soft.” 🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins. Hosted by Dax Hill (NCAA champ, Texas Longhorns legend, high-performance technique guru @Reykli) and Elvis Burrows (Bahamian Olympian, national record holder, founder of Burrow's Best swimmer hair and skin care), Night Swim is unfiltered swim culture — NCAA battles, Olympic tea, training hacks, and pool-deck chaos. No scripts. No PR. Just two Black swimmers who’ve seen it all, saying what everyone else whispers.New episodes weekly.
