Hey man, I wish you the best of luck. When it comes to the water side of things give me a shout. I work in the pump and filter world helping waste water operators daily. I'm not 100% sure I can help you, but I can't hurt. My pumps are pretty good too

I'm not Cullen, obviously, but checkout US Master's Swimming. I lifeguarded at the IU Nat at IUPUI for 6+ years, and we regularly hosted meets for them, including Nationals.

It's competitive swimming for adults of all ages. Maybe there is a club by you

Allegedly Russia still has some or all of the Soviet era Dead Hand system to automatically retaliate if a nuclear strike is detected by seismic, light, radioactive, and/or pressure sensors. Supposedly this is normally set to "off" but we can't really be sure.

So there's the very slim possibility that it is set to "on" and enough sensors are tripped at once to trigger the launch of every ICBM the Russians have. Even if it's caused by something other than a nuclear strike.
