Anyone want to share some stories regarding humor in their swimming or past experiences....like meets....practice...HS Swimming, college....age group....?
At the Big Ten Championship at the University of Michigan in the 70's we (Ohio State) amused ourselves by trying to determine if one of the timers in lane 2 was male or female. Ironicly, about halfway through the meet this skinny, shorts and t-shirt-clad timer must have found the natatorium a bit too stuffy and hot and proceeded to stand up, take off the t-shirt and dive in to lane 2 for a very slow 50 yard swim. Delay of meet is an understatement! The officials banished this person from the natatorium but the strangest part is: even down to a bare chest and shorts, the mystery of this person's gender is, well, still a mystery!
