Episode notes

Swimming as a sport is well and truly international. As we heard in the last episode, swimmers and teams from all over the world compete. But in order to compete at the highest level, athletes need the right resources…and the one thing about resources the world over, is that they are not equally distributed - in all areas of life, swimming being no exception. And so the question really is - how can a swimmer's geographic location affect how far they can progress in the sport?
