Swim Rant

Poorly kept city pools: Y'know the ones I'm talking about. Cloudy water, band-aids floating about and the occasional diaper. ...Yes, you heard me, *DIAPER*! There's a story behind the diaper... One fine summer morning we were getting ready to get in for morning practice and our young Masters coach spotted something floating in the water. He bent over, picked it up and asked, "What's this ?" One of our older daddy types said, "It's a diaper" Coach dropped it and squealed "Eek!" along with a big cringe. He was horrified. That was really funny to watch. "It's not radioactive, Coach, it's just a diaper". My rant - the hoodlums that climb the tall fence (w/ barbed wire) and trash the outdoor pool overnight so when you arrive there are filthy trash cans, all the pool furniture, and the full lane rope reels in the pool. Instead of a swim practice you're going to help pull the flotsam/jetsam out of the water and make sure that the laneropes and reel you did the fundraiser to buy aren't broken.
