DaCosta, Kyle Brill and Matt Driscoll will be looking to punch their ticket to the Olympic games at this week’s trials. “I swam in the Canadian Trials about a month ago, so I’m excited to contrast the similarities between the U.S. trials and Canadian trials,” Driscoll said.The trio flew to the Hoosier state all the way from California, where they attend UC Santa Barbara, to compete at Lucas Oil Stadium — the world’s largest indoor swimming venue.
“It’s really cool to see the sport of swimming making it out to the mainstream spotlight like it is right now,” Brill said.
