Olympic swimming trials?

Question

i was watching the olympic swimming trials on tv today, and i was wondering why after the swimmers made their dive they dunked a towel into what looked like a hot tub, and then put it on their chest. is there a reason for this?

Answer 1

Do you mean the diving trials?

The water in that "tank" is usually quite a bit warmer than the pool water.  Although they were indoor, it is still somewhat cool inside the building so they were just trying to stay a little bit warm.  If you noticed, some of the divers sat in the spa (it is actually a spa) after their dive.

HOW ABOUT THAT PERFECT DIVE!?

Answer 2

olympic swimming trials is next week, you must have watched diving.....unless u watched a past one.
