Swimmers are split between engine-based athletes and coordinated athletes

You still have two different kinds of athletes. You have athletes who probably could have done another sport... and then you have other people that just have an engine... but they can't jump, they can't run, they can't do anything but that [swim].

This is a descriptive observation of athletic types in a niche sport.

Shallow pools are slower because waves bounce off the bottom and slow down the swimmer

If you have a shallow pool, it's not gonna be as fast because if you make waves and they bounce back up off the bottom of the pool at you, that just can slow you down. So you want it to be at least six to eight feet deep.

This is a scientifically recognized phenomenon in competitive swimming regarding wave dissipation and turbulence.

Jimmy Tatro shouldn't have taken a network TV job because he is a movie star

I think that you [Jimmy Tatro] are a movie star and I think that this [TV show] will tie you down and you won't have the freedom to do all these things that I think will be banging down your door... I've seen you and stuff. You're a movie star. I am not a movie star. I think this is where I end up. I don't think you end up here.

Subjective career advice, though Tatro has continued to find success in both TV and film.
