Gli Stati Uniti sono sempre più popolati di nuotatori europei, lo si capisce dai tanti nomi molto conosciuti che compaiono nei risultati delle varie manifestazioni americane, un motivo ci sarà, è evidente che il circuito d’oltre oceano è molto stimolante e in qualsiasi manifestazione si gareggia al fianco di grandi campioni, resta solo la domanda sul perchè affermati nuotatori europei e non solo decidono di andare negli Stati Uniti anche avendo già vinto e stravinto nelle grandi manifestazioni. Perchè?
