"Yes, the opening stage is a 1500-meter nonstop swimming segment. In this segment, athletes can use any stroke for the race, but typically freestyle is used. Floating or standing to rest is allowed, and if any physical issue arises, nearby lifeguards will immediately respond, so there are no safety hazards at all. Hehe, usually, there are more lifeguards than athletes."

"Swimming is just the appetizer, the real test comes next."
"I'm more worried about Huang Kaiwen getting injured, what would happen to Milan if he gets hurt?"
