My team, Rockwall Aquatic Masters is having a long course meet on 6th July and I am actively trying to convince team mates to sign up. On my blog I was describing my disappointment that more of my team mates had not signed up. One commenter posted the following, "Why do they have to participate? I have more fun going to practice than I do meets. I don't find meets fun anymore." I guess I had assumed that most people enjoy meets and I found it strange that my team mates did not want to sign up. This got me thinking and I wondered why people compete or don't compete? Any thoughts?
LOVE LOVE LOVE ROCKWALL POOL! And best of all, there's a BRAUM'S ICE CREAM right outside the road to the pool!! Not everyone is going to be gun-ho about racing - especially pool racing. There is no Truth like the Truth of your times to the one hundreth of second in a controlled environment. On our team, it seems so many people enjoy open water vs. pool competition for that reason. It's hard to get people to want to swim a meet if they aren't already self-motivated. I'd love to go to the meet. I already read the meet info. There's few more competition motived than me.
However, it is the only week that works to go to visit my parents, and Braums/Rockwall ISD pool can't compete with my dad's beef tripe and Kennywood Park.
PS - Please host a SCM meet, or SCY meet!!!! Thank you.
I am not normally a conspiracy theorist however on this one I find the location of Braums relative to the new city hall highly suspicious. It was there first and now the aquatic center and the city hall are within a block of the best and cheapest ice cream in Rockwall. You can't tell me it's coincidence.
