Also, they should have underwater seats at swimming
events |
|

A transparent section of race track? |
|
|
[hippo] HELL yes. For all "pool" sports (especially

Would bloomers help, do you think? |

Cheap underwater hockey: Leave home base, accurately use your mallet, return home, all under one breath. |
