Yeah, I am sure I could.
Swimming and diving are about the only event in the summer olympics I still watch. And I enjoy seeing how close my scoring is to the judges on the diving, though its hindered by only getting whatever the camera shot is. But since the '70 the camera people seem to know more about what they should be framing, so the scores I would give are pretty close to the real ones.
Judging swimming when you aren't poolside is futile. The camera and the water distorts touches too much and other than appreciating the skill of someone's turn or their pacing its all up to electronics anyway. Most competitive swimmers don't foul up their take off, but you can see the psych games and nerves going when they take the blocks, even on a TV screen.
