For three straight Olympic Trials meets in Omaha, SwimSwam was posted up at the same location, albeit a different owner for each round. In 2024, a new city dictates a new HQ, and from June 15-23, SwimSwam will be spending most of our days at The District Tap in downtown Indianapolis. The restaurant and sports bar is located 1 block from the Gainbridge Field House and is a huge space with a big bar, big windows, big TVs, and tons of seating. Michael Cranfill, the proprietor of The District Tap, is a local commercial real estate developer who thought he could do something better in a space that had been a revolving door. So he created The District Tap (now with two locations), where the food is damn good, the beer choices are insane, and where kids and adults can feel comfortable.

Georgia Democrats are sounding the alarm over potential mass voter challenges ahead of the November election. Georgia law allows local voters to challenge the eligibility of as many people as they want if they suspect the person is ineligible to cast a ballot. Ahead of the Jan. 2021 runoffs for the U.S. Senate, a conservative vote monitoring group called True the Vote challenged hundreds of thousands of voters’ eligibility.
