Come on Rob, 50% of the fun on this forum is thread hijacking. 45% of the fun is insulting Geek, and 5% of the fun is the intellectual discussion of swimming.What can I say… On this the feast day of Pope Saint Gregory III, I thought I’d try broker peace in the iconoclastic controversy between the Byzantines and the Lombards.
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been taking my kids to age group meets, but I helped run one this past weekend and there were the assortment of swimwear from low to hi-tech. Between entry fees, travel, hotel and food I would guess a lot of folks from out of town at the meet were spending $300-$500. With this outlay of cash, why wouldn’t you want to maximize performance of little Suzy?
On the flip side, when I go to our Masters State meet I see a lot of folks in tech suits. And most of the folks wearing these are no closer to making it to the Olympics than little Suzy. So if it isn’t worth spending money on your kids is it worth spending the money on yourself?
