I'm venting... Community Politics and Swimming.

The community I live in has 2 High School pools that are closed about 90 percent of the time do to the differences of opinion between the 2 "Pool Directors". There are no public swim times and our Masters Team has not been able to get pool time in over a month. It is really frustrating. Being new to the community I don't really want to make waves but the whole thing just makes me so frustrated. Writing this has actually helped a little. Has anyone else encountered such an issue? Please share...

  • Matt, the only thing mediocre about you is your occasional poor choice of racing attire (bet you thought we forgot the hole in the butt suit at Federal Way). Besides, anyone that knows me can attest to the fact that I'm simply not a land animal and unless that walker is turbo charged there ain't no way I'm going to catch you. Side note, speaking of not being a land animal evil-goodsmith decied to try and be a runner last week and came down with a severe case of patella tendenitis......tri geeks take note and fire away! I tried to explain to him all the physics involved with a 6' 3", 210 lb creature with his weight in his upper body (not lower like our bike/run friends) trying to run but alas he didn't listen! On a serious note, this is one of the most basic factors that impact all the prior discussions about our sport dying, mens/kids swimming declining, etc........if there was ever a place to start a campaign of change this would be it!
