Host Peter Busch opens the show with an update on the campaign to raise money for Arizona State University's men's swim team. Also included is a video interview with Sean Ellis and Peter Gollands, two swimmers at Syracuse University who are part of the effort to get the student government involved in the effort to raise awareness of the team's plight across the campus.
Today's Olympic preview focuses on the men's 100 breast, which should showcase another epic battle between Olympic gold medalist Kosuke Kitajima and world record holder Brendan Hansen. Both swimmers are likely to be challenged by three Europeans who recently dipped under the one-minute barrier.
The For the Record segment features a story about three brothers from French Guyana who were the fastest in the world in the individual medley events. They claimed they were so fast because they swam in piranha-infested waters.
