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
thought I'd resurrect this thread
please feel free to ADD your latest RANTS
today I want to RANT ABOUT the species of swimmer I call
EAGER BEAVER EARLY LEAVERS
these are the swimmers (who swim in the lane next to mine, or one or two over) who are always in a hurry to begin the next set.
When we're about to begin a new set and the clock is on :10
Our lane will decide to go on the top, but
the E.B.E.L.s will leave on the bottom
since we swim on faster intervals we usually reel them in during the set
EBEL's tend to dive in early or on time for warm up and tend to swim warm up at a faster pace.
There's also the individual E.B.E.L.'s who habitually pushes off early. If we're supposed to leave on the top, it's a safe bet that an EBEL will push off on the 57 or 58, but when we're doing fast swims, even though they left early, they base their times like they left when they should have. It's also not good to have an EBEL swimming behind you, capturing a greater draft.
do you know any EAGER BEAVER EARLY LEAVERs?
are you an EAGER BEAVER EARLY LEAVERs?
if you are one, I beg you to repent and change your ways.
