As a swimmer of 9 years, I do believe the action to be a bit distasteful, but certainly nothing to frown over. At a home meet, given the hypothetical that the host team wins, it’s swim culture to jump into one’s own pool. Rightfully so, it’s celebratory! However, I’ve never seen a winning team jump into their rival opponents pool. I believe such action could come across as cocky. “Let’s rub it in their faces,” if you will. Although the lines may seem a bit fuzzy, I hope this makes sense.
