    Two leading swimming federations – the FINA world body and the European LEN – have rejected the resignation of Hungarian media entrepreneur Tamás Gyárfás from their boards until a court ruling surrounding his murder charge has been made.

    When asked by Magyar Nemzet, both FINA director Cornel Marculescu and LEN president Paolo Barell said they will not accept Gyárfás’ resignation until after a court decision, saying their decision was based on the presumption of innocence.

    Last week, more than twenty years after the killing of then well-known Hungarian media owner János Fenyő, the Budapest prosecution charged his rival Gyárfás with incitement to murder.

    Former Olympian and personal trainer Julia Russell tries out a pair of new AR swimmers goggles from FORM.

    One summer weekend, I was granted two-day access to a nearby resort-style fitness facility with a deluxe indoor pool. So I went for a swim – while connected, of course.

    Before leaving my apartment, I grabbed my iPhone (selfie or it didn’t happen), packed a pair of swimming trunks, and headed toward the door before realizing, “I forgot to charge my goggles.”

    Yes, charge them – the same way you would your smartphone or your smartwatch. FORM, developed by a Vancouver-based startup, is what happens when your typical pair of swim goggles receive a total 2.0 upgrade. The water-friendly gadget is packed with hyped up tech like machine learning, augmented reality and real-time performance metrics.

    I wanted to find out if the nifty eyewear from the future would live up to the hype and the results were, well, interesting.
