First time doing the 1650 free: Kaitlin Buckley (21:31)

When Griffin Davis dove in, he lost his goggles.  They ended up around his
neck.  Not a fun event to lose one's goggles in.  However, about a 200 in, we
noticed that his goggles were around his arm.  We were all astounded as to
how he got them from his neck to his arm without our seeing it.  After he got
out, we asked him how he accomplished such a task.  His reply was priceless. 
He said, "Coach, a magician doesn't give away his tricks."  Good enough
explanation for me!!  Not a bad swim either, 6:47.
