European Aquatics

I think, um, I think as swimmers, we rely too much on our governing bodies and our masters are an afterthought, unfortunately.

So there is moves from World Aquatics and European Aquatics to have a series of open water races, but um, a global series of swimming events.

I would love it where you choose to spend your, your annual leave and, and where you choose to go.

Cool destinations-

Right.

And I think the, the pressure now goes on to organizations like USA Swimming, like European Aquatics, like World Aquatics to be like, "Are, are we gonna get media passes to come to these major events?" Because we're the faces and the voices of, of swimming.

We're the ones telling the stories.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's just the way it is.

So, um, I give him credit that, but, you know, when he came to me first with Enhance, he's like, "What do you think? Like, do you, um, you know, do you wanna be a part of it?" And I understand what that comes with 'cause, um, you know, at the time I had a deal with European Aquatics doing, um, their, um, announcing commentary for them, and I was kind of like I wasn't that in, into it really, to be honest, 'cause I was just like, well, they're retired.

All the athletes are retired.

I loved it.

I did see that you made it onto the European Aquatics social media.

Was it you-

I did

So I was like, "Can I bring friends?" And it was just after the 400 medley medal ceremony.

So I was like, "Nia, you're in with me, girl.

Let's go." Um, so and we bumped into Vicky, so I was like, "Here's another one of my friends." Um, so yeah, it was a kind of spontaneous TikTok or Instagram reel which made it onto European Aquatics.

Yeah.
