SwimSwam\u2019s \u2018face of the franchise\u2019 Coleman Hodges<\/a> has just landed in South Florida, and he brings with it some good news.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n

With many of the world\u2019s best swimmers arriving in Ft. Lauderdale this weekend for the Ft. Lauderdale Open, there has been much consternation from swimming fans that there hasn\u2019t been any livestream plan.<\/p>\n

So we reached out to Dave Gibson and the host team and said \u201cwhat can we make work?\u201d and they reacted quickly and agreed to give us the space to \u201cmake it work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coleman is hustling to the pool now to get it set up. The streams will be on SwimSwam\u2019s YouTube page, which you can find here (subscribe, like, and follow! I want that 100k button!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

For tonight\u2019s 1500s, he\u2019s going to do the best he can, and then work on getting it all framed out for the rest of the meet. Because of the last minute nature of this, it\u2019s not going to be perfect, but we\u2019re going to do, at a minimum, the \u201cpoint a camera at the pool\u201d version. Coleman will also be capturing races to post on YouTube after the fact.<\/p>\n

Kevin Cargill, the lead USA Swimming and NCAA deck announcer right now, will be there calling the meet, so hopefully we can figure out how to pick up his audio as well.<\/p>\n

The only \u2018unknown\u2019 is internet access. It\u2019s an outdoor meet so worst case we can try to stream off a hotspot, but best case the facility will just have good internet access.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see y\u2019all from the deck tonight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SwimSwam\u2019s \u2018face of the franchise\u2019 Coleman Hodges has just landed in South Florida, and he brings with it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[109877,249,251,250,109878],"class_list":["post-251528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-coleman-hodges","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-kevin-cargill"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
