"so I was like 'Grandma what do you think "WTF" means?' And she said someone in her bridge club told her it means 'Wow, that's fun.' ... And so that's what it means. I'm not explaining anything else to her." At about 1:20 www.youtube.com/watch

Hello, I am new and not familiar with the acronyms used at the pool. The coaches have bee nice to answer my questions, but sometimes I forget and feel really bad asking again and again. Is there a place I can find them out? Thanks a bunch. Mayra Depends upon the coach. Different coaches and swimmers use different acronyms, abbreviations, short hand, and syntax. Might post some of your particular questions on acronyms here and we can sort them out.
