rescuing a person in distress/drowning person is very dangerous as they instinctually will grab you and hold you under to keep themselves buoyant.

I'm just remembering the year when Pat was talking about how tight the swim uniforms were and the cramping that was happening,(drowning hazard) and got completely dismissed and made fun of by Castro. Or when athletes were lauded for pushing themselves into heat exhaustion during Murph. (not to mention other season-ending and career-ending injuries) The ethos that leads to athletes not being listened to or taken seriously about safety concerns is one that does not concern itself with dangerous/hazardous conditions and doesn't respond quickly enough to an athlete in danger. The athlete union has been trying to point this out for a LONG time and it is SO tragic what happened today and the breakdown in response to an athlete in danger that led to this tragedy.

CrossFit tries to be a man of all trades. Calling their athletes fittest on Earth while many of them have very poor techniques in some participating sports. Regarding swimming, they are very mediocre in swimming and OWS is a dangerous sport. For God's sake, who puts swimming after running? You want to minimize the risk of drowning. What's next, CrossFit? I have a great race for you in mind. Snatches to max count for 10 minutes, all-in running 10K, then maybe obstacle course of something (with rope climbing, muscle ups, etc.) and polish it with 10K open water swimming.
