In another thread a member drew a parallel between learning to get off the block at the sound of the start horn, and Pavlov 's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell. That reminded me of my favorite tee from my college days. On the front: Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? On the back: No, but it makes me drool!
So, that thought led me to thinking about all the cute tee shirts I've seen kids wearing at meets and was wondering what your favorite swim tee shirt saying is?
At the last meet I timed there was a young woman there who was truely very fast. Her tee said, "Don't think of it as losing, think of it as being beaten by a girl!"

When I was swimming with the junior national team, one of our many traditions was Hell Week, which basically consisted of two 7,000 yard practices a day the entire week before Christmas. For surviving it, we each received two t-shirts; one for us, one for our mothers.
Our t-shirts said (front): I survived Hell Week.... (back) I just don't have the energy to care yet.
Our mom's shirts said (front): My (son/daughter) is a USA junior national swimmer (Back) I wash the towels.
To this DAY, my mother still has that shirt. She even had a little pin made out of the slogan on the back, and she wore it to every one of my swim meets.
