Cleveland rendezvous, possible beer

jim thornton
I feel I know many of you frequent forum contributors even though I've never actually laid eyes upon you; along these lines, I'm wondering if maybe we could arrange a Long Course Nationals get-together, perhaps raise a cup of grog so that when we correspond via this forum in the future, we'll actually be able to put a face to the words we are reading (and which I personally have found so helpful about all things swimming). I signed up for the meet via the online registration process, incredibly easy, by the way; unless something unforeseen occurs between now and August 15th, I plan to be in Cleveland along with some of my teammates from Sewickley, PA (we'll be swimming for Allegheny Mountain Associations Masters). Anyhow, if anyone out there is up for it, perhaps we could decide upon a rendezvous spot poolside, then go out for a beer when the day's events are over. Hope to meet some of you guys.

    Hey Cynthia! Very true, true! Perhaps the battle/victory cry for the 2002 LC Nationals should have been Veni, Vidi, Vici as written by Caius Iulius Caesar? More useless Latin trivia: nato -are, to swim, float; to stream to flow natator -oris, m., swimmer natatio -onis, f., swimming Did you notice that the Latin word for swimmer is masculine gender? The Latin word for swimming is feminine gender. Now was there a little sexist attitude in Rome or did Roman men participate in a women's sport? :D (Yes, yes, I must have too much time on my hands to think of this.)
