This morning, there were four Mikes and one Tom in one lane at the Rose Bowl Pool. There are loads more Mikes than any other name at the Rose Bowl, as if there is a celestial vortex. It seems as though different geographical areas attract particular names. Mission Viejo also has a preferred name in one lane, ***. Hilarity ensues from time to time.
At one point I was swimming with 5 others, the rest were age groupers. Three of us were named Alison. The coach loved it since he could just yell "Go Alison" and it covered half his practice attendance.
