Greetings!

I was listening to CBC the other day and there was a conversation with a financial advisor regarding the Olympics and discussing the dollar aspect of raising an elite athlete.

The advisor allowed that he was directing his young daughter towards a swimming ambition as "a swimsuit is way cheaper than a horse."
