Since kaelonj came clean, it made me wonder as well if I fit the late bloomer category. Ion, please tell me.
I swam summer city league only from age 7-14. 2.5 months per year, not AAU. We had 5X weekly practice and 1X weekly meets for a total of 7 meets per summer. Quit to pursue the pleasures of the vine, women, etc until age 27 or 28 when I got relatively serious.
Or, is this whole late blooming thing that you can't have ever seen a pool, smelled chlorine or donned a Speedo until your late 20s? What is the arbitrary cut off point that makes you a late bloomer?
Ion, answer me this - is it possible you and me are actually late blooming brethren? Could it be true, the east european malcontent and the fat southern swamp dweller are actually kin? If so, I shall immediately use the late blooming excuse more freely.
