The Duel in the Pool organisers must have had spies at Drummoyne Swimming Club’s BBB races last summer. They’ve borrowed some of our ideas. One of the innovative races on Saturday night was a multi-class, multi-stroke handicap. Those spectators and TV viewers who aren’t familiar with our BBB handicap racing format must have been confused…
