Everyone's a winner

Olympic Size swimming pool

A man in a track suit is holding a towel as he helps pull a one armed swimmer out the pool.

The swimmer takes the offered towel and the two talk as they swimmer dries himself off.

One armed Swimmer
Confident
"Well what do you think, Paraolympic material or what?"

Coach
Crestfallen
"I have to be honest son I think you're going round in circles"

Whats the target here? And what does the expression mean in this context. Going round in circles?

His career is not progressing and he is literally going round in circles, because he only has one arm?

Is going round in circles an expression for a career going nowhere? I got the literal idea.

Admittedly, it's not the first expression that comes to mind, but it's not too big a leap

Still none the wiser.. help me out here.

Marc its just a throw away so I won't go too far into.
If anything I thought it was such an obvious punchline that I wasn't gong to put it up.

I also thought that the saying 'Going around in circles' was a well known phrase, but as its not and given you don't know the phrase you can be forgiven for not getting the joke.

He's taking the piss...

I can't respond to attacks I get in trouble, I just like to think he has never heard the phrase.

If it helps Teddy - I wasn't taking the piss.

Its not even an issue Marc, all I am doing is throwing up stuff as I think of it, some of it works other stuff falls flat.
