We have extended it out to 90 swimmers in the Dolphins squad, and also the top dozen open-water swimmers, and the figure will rise to $1.1 million in the first year, and then increase in the years following. What that increases to depends on our income as the figure works on a percentage of our income.”
“There are gold, silver and bronze tiers and each of those tiers receives a different payment. Obviously, the higher up the tree you are, the more money you get.”
