At our SCM meet this past weekend we had an out-of-state visitor swimming. She was a very serious swimmer, arrived a week early to acclimate, came with a bit of an entourage, and did some pretty amazing times (45-49). We also saw her taking frequent hits from a very large inhaler always just before her races as she was warming up and behind the blocks. Any thoughts?.
I also get most don't want USMS events to be high-pressure affairs, and so behavior like that described can leave a sour taste for those who want a more relaxed atmosphere. Just ignore it; different people derive different motivation and enjoyment from these events. To the extent that it promotes a healthy and balanced lifestyle, it's all good.
I agree
