I can climb a ladder and paint my house but feel like an &amp;quot;Old Man&amp;quot; if I put my googles on and try to get on a starting block for a meet.

At some meets, there isn&amp;#39;t a lot of time to do that and I always run the risk of getting some leakage.

But at almost 62 years old, I can appreciate that feeling you&amp;rsquo;re experiencing. You said &amp;ldquo;&amp;hellip;if I put my googles (goggles) on and try to get on a starting block&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; in that order. I&amp;rsquo;d suggest that you don&amp;rsquo;t put the goggles over your eyes until you&amp;rsquo;re standing on the block. Maybe that&amp;rsquo;ll work. &amp;mdash; Dan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
