FUD. Vegan food also has protein.

#5I was a college swimmer, qualified for Olympic Trials in 2012 and 2016. There are absolutely slow and fast pools. It basically comes down to two things:
1. The depth - which is only 7ft in Paris, unusually shallow for a competition pool.
2. The sides. Does the water spill over the sides into the gutters, or smash into a wall and bounce back, creating more chop.
A trained eye can see all the swimmers in Paris struggling in their last 10-20 meters (heck, an untrained eye can spot some of these). Bummer that it makes the meet feel slow but at least it generally affects all the swimmers equally

You probably will dismiss it, based on your username, but people like

completely demolish your argument.

To a lesser effect, there's also the surface tension of the water, which can be adjusted with salt and borates.

FUD. Vegan food also has protein.
All protein derived from veggies are considered incomplete when compared to animal derived protein, which also require substantially more volume to obtain the same nutritional content.
You only need to look at the amount of waste (feces) between a veggie based diet and an animal based diet - the difference is staggeringly different.
I.e. far less waste is produced, because far less is required when eating animal based foods.
