Well, we've won 3 swimming golds so far, but yeah, they are underperforming.

Australia seems to be having a Golden Generation of female swimmers right now and they have gotten the better of the US women. Also, the US men have fallen off since Phelps; they are good, not great.

I heard something like Lochte did dolphin kicks unconventionally... Then they deemed it illegal. And during his time they also removed the use of supersuits. Interesting era
