If you are like me (Ashlee), my love for football goes as far as one day a year - Superbowl. Why? Because I feel football is boring! Always standing around, talking, reviewing. Oh, and commercials. If you are lucky there will be 45 seconds of play that will be talked about for the next few days.
But while preparing for this week's Poolside Publication, I came across this article I found fascinating. Mathematically, swimming has more action per event than football does.
In an article by Braden Keith on SwimSwam, he breaks it all down for you - in a 2013 study, a 2 hour and 13 minute football game has about 11 minutes of action and 35 minutes of commercials. While the 2017 Swimming World Championships was 1 hour and 44 minutes with 33 minutes of action. Much better!
Obviously there will be never be a Superbowl of swimming, but if you are looking for more action, then revisit some past swim match videos to get your adrenaline going.
