Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"Okay! Shark skin swimsuits have repeatedly broken world records. What do you think?" Zhu Youlin said, looking at them with her dark eyes.

"Wow..." Lian Ximei exclaimed in amazement, "This is so great!"

"Hey, hey! These are just external things. In the end, it all comes down to your own strength. Don't think that anyone can become a world champion just by wearing a sharkskin swimsuit." Zhu Youlin said quickly after hearing this, breaking their unrealistic ideas.

"I know, I know." Lian Ximei nodded hurriedly after hearing this, looking at her with clear eyes and said, "They are already very strong, and the sharkskin swimsuit is like a tiger with wings for them."

"Yes!" Zhu Youlin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at them.

"What do the higher-ups think? And what about FINA? What do they think about this?" Lin Jingzhe asked Coach Zhu, staring at him with his amber peach blossom eyes.

"This sharkskin swimsuit wasn't allowed for use until 99, but it drew a lot of criticism. Many experts believe its high-tech application violates the essence of competition, which is to rely on no external forces." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her bright dark eyes and said, "At last year's Athens Olympics, 47 medal-winning athletes stepped onto the podium wearing second-generation sharkskin swimsuits." She pursed her lips and looked at them. "The current sharkskin debate is: science or superstition? Some say it's a high-tech stimulant. But FINA has allowed it, and athletes are wearing it for the sake of performance."

"What about us?" Zina asked curiously.

"There's no clear direction yet. It's probably still under discussion! After all, it's expensive." Zhu Youlin looked at them with deep eyes and said, "Those who doubt shark skin believe that scientific training methods are the main way to improve athletes' performance. Although athletes have broken world records while competing in shark skin, it's hard to say whether this new swimsuit can truly improve performance. Before every Olympic Games, there are always some world records broken. This is because the athletes receive systematic training before the competition and are basically in peak condition, so it is very easy to achieve results."

"I understand. It's impossible to compare the effects of shark skin and ordinary swimsuits simultaneously, because there's no way to prove whether an athlete can break a record wearing an ordinary swimsuit at the same time and place as he breaks a record wearing shark skin." Lin Jingzhe blinked his amber eyes and looked at them and said.

It seems that sharkskin swimsuits were later banned, and then the myth of sharkskin swimsuits was broken. Male athletes were not allowed to wear full-body swimsuits, only swimming trunks.

"It's hard to say now. We don't know whether shark skin will be allowed in the next Olympics, but training, training yourself is still the safest thing to do." Zhu Youlin pointed at them with her index finger and said seriously.

"Don't we have a swimming treadmill here?" Lin Jingzhe looked around the training hall and said.

"No! It was just built in Shanghai in February of this year in preparation for the 2008 Olympics," Zhu Youlin said, her bright black eyes fixed on them. "You can check online. There's news on it. It cost 3000 million yuan and uses German technology." Her eyes sparkled as she spoke. "It's currently the world's largest swimming tank. Its technical parameters, including water flow velocity, flow rate error, and turbulence, can meet the needs of world-class athletes. They also utilize recording and analysis equipment, force sensors, cardiopulmonary function analyzers, blood lactate meters, heart rate monitors, and other instruments to test and analyze athletes' swimming technique and physical condition. This allows them to build a relevant database and provide targeted training guidance."

"Wow..." Ye Zhenzhen and the others were amazed. "When can we swim too?"

"It goes without saying that you will succeed once you enter the national team." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her bright dark eyes, cheering them on, encouraging them.

Lin Jingzhe frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "German technology, isn't our own technology good enough?"

"Domestic?" Zhu Youlin frowned slightly and looked at her. "Will it work? This technology is only available in developed countries."

Nowadays, people are superstitious about imported products. When they hear about domestic products, they frown and shake their heads, showing distrust.

"Domestic products are not bad." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his deep peach blossom eyes and said, "Look for aerospace companies, they have very strong technology."

Zhu Youlin looked at her with a puzzled look on her face and said, "We are swimming in the water, it has nothing to do with the sky!"

"You have to believe in our aerospace technology." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his lustrous amber eyes and said, "I don't know the details, but you can report it to the higher-ups. If we can achieve domestic production, at least we can save a lot of money on the price."

"Look how easily you say it." Zhu Youlin said with his dark eyes looking at the innocent girl.

"As an Olympic gold medalist, react. We really have the ability now, for the Olympics." Lin Jingzhe continued to persuade, "The cost will be reduced, and there will be many benefits."

Zhu Youlin was a little tempted by what she said, "I wonder how much the price can be reduced?"

"I don't know the details, but it's definitely cheaper than imported ones." Lin Jingzhe smiled elegantly, looking at her with his curved peach blossom eyes, and said, "They use high technology to improve their training abroad, so we can do the same."

"Our athlete training mechanism is different from theirs. Many of them are private individuals with private doctors, nutritionists, and their own coaches..." Zhu Youlin said, looking at her with her deep and clear eyes.

"How much does that cost?" Zina couldn't help but exclaimed.

"The initial investment is high. You either have to have money yourself or someone else invests in you. Of course, their investment isn't in vain; they have to make it back later." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her dark eyes and said, "After you achieve success, you can get endorsements, just like a star player."

"Fame brings wealth! Gain both fame and wealth." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his bright peach blossom eyes and said, "It's a bit like being poor in literature and rich in martial arts."

"Yeah!" Zhu Youlin blinked her bright eyes and said, "Sports abroad are indeed not something that ordinary people can afford."

"I see football stars come from poor families, especially in South America," Ye Zhenzhen said with a sly look in her eyes. "They're so rich!"

"They have scouts. Talent is very important. Those are the top kids. There are only one or two kids from the slums who can play football." Zhu Youlin looked at them with warm eyes and said, "Don't be fooled by their wealth. I don't know how much hardship they have endured to get to this point."

Zhu Youlin clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, get up! Take a shower, change clothes, and let's go watch the video."

"Oh!" Lin Jingzhe and the others responded obediently.

I took a shower, changed into school uniform, went to the classroom, and watched the video frame by frame to see high-level swimming.

The laymen just watch the fun and focus on how fast others swim.
