here you go, the thread you've been waiting for
SWIM RANT
RANT to your hearts content about aspects of
SWIMMING and SWIMMERS that bug YOU
I encourage you to be good natured and hilarious
you may find it cathartic
Ande
no backstroke flags is annoying
discovering there are no backstroke flags by crashing into the wall at full spend is painful
there's also touching the wall so hard you sprain or break a finger like when neil walker broke his finger on the wall at the 1997 NCAA's when he was blazing fast
trying to keep count on longer swims, anything above a 250
another rant is
when you're swimming second in your lane enjoying a great draft on the swimmer who's leading, then you catch them, tap their toes and now they insist you now lead the lane, which causes you to lose the draft you were enjoying and now the work begins
also my fellow ranters please feel free to provide solutions to each of your RANTS

No backstroke flags in the 50m outdoor pool we swim in for the summer.
Switching back and forth between short course and long course all summer. Those early morning practices seem to have an extra level of difficulty some times: 800 warm up. Is that 16 or 32 today?:confused:
