The mascot is a tiger. The coach is a woman but none of the girls have signed anyu thing. I mentioned it to my childhood friend whose husband is onthe school board. They didn't think anything of it. Another person mentioned that it means that the girl swims well.
I thought it was really bad news. I've mentioned it to several people and no one evens thinks of the other thought. I was really surprised.
I know their coach really well, and I know a lot of the girls and their parents really well. This must have some decent meaning to them because I cannot see their coach allowing it otherwise. I CAN find out what it means.
