A crew from the show visited Greason Pool August 20, 2008, to interview swim coach Brad Burnham and several members of the Bowdoin Swim Team, and witness a demonstration of tethered swimming, the latest in a series of biomechanical innovations in swimming that Burnham and his independent research partner Mark Glauth are pioneering at Bowdoin.
