You also kind of slyly dropped in that you're working on a business that was gonna make swimming global Came up with the idea of franchising our own swim team across the country and moving it over to the world.
There we go.
And it's gonna be under one umbrella, and it's gonna be called Icon.
And what we do is just buy these swim teams.
Nothing changes in the organization, like the swim coaches, nothing.
We don't fire any swim coaches.
Everything changes the same.
All we're doing is purchasing the team, changing the name of the team, new swag, new everything, but the owner is gonna be an Olympic swimmer, Ryan Lochte.
And then I will have a certain amount of teams in my region, and then we're looking at other Olympians.
Talked to Caeleb Dressel, but he's still swimming.
He's like, "When I'm done with swimming, hit me back up," or Ryan Murphy.
And then so these swimmers, you guys know, after you're done swimming, a lot of the swimmers are like, "Well, what the hell do I do with my life now?"
Like, I mean swimming, you have to swim nonstop.
Like, you use every muscle in your body, so it's repetition, repetition over and over, and then when it's all said and done, you're like, "Wait, what do I do now?"
So we're actually giving back to the Olympians too.
We're gonna have the ability to have these Olympians own 10 teams of their liking.
We just purchase the teams.
They're gonna own 10 teams.
They don't have to know how to run it.
We have a CEO that will do all that for you.
And then hopefully when we get up to enough teams, that we're gonna start hosting our own swim meets, and it's all gonna be under USA Swimming and AAU.
So it's And we're gonna bring the fun back into swimming, 'cause I'm tired of seeing so many swimmers with mental health issues, because it just breaks my heart.
I'm like, man, y- there's so much more to life than just swimming.
Like, sometimes it's the parents that are drilling them, being like, "Hey, you have to be the best right now."
No, you don't.
I wasn't good until I got to college.
So us bringing the fun back and changing the sport of youth swimming around the country and world, it's gonna be big.
That is a extremely interesting concept.
It's never been done- Of course it is before in the sport of swimming.
We're gonna have a DJ.
We're gonna have like snow cones in the back, video games in the back where, like, you're not just sitting around.
There's gonna be stuff for the parents so they're not just sitting in a bleacher just wondering, wait- waiting for their kid to swim.
It's gonna be a whole thing.
