Alexander Popov, four-time Olympic swimming champion and IOC honorary member, explained how “slow water” prevents athletes from achieving world records.
— Regarding “slow” water, which does not yet allow swimmers to set world records. Swimmers usually talk about “slow” water when they feel that they are in the water deeper than usual and at high speeds they cannot rise and lie higher. You are enveloped in tiny bubbles in the form of a layer on the skin. This is due to the water treatment system. When ionization is used instead of chlorination, this is often the result. The water becomes softer and the speeds decrease,” Popov was quoted as saying by RT.
The Paris Olympic Games take place from July 26 to August 11.
