Swim Rant

here's my rant for the day in practice, crowded fast swimmer lanes (4 - 5 swimmers per lane) while there are empty slow lanes (1 - 2 per lane) the slow lanes could fit many more swimmers cause they won't catch each other. and my other rant is injuries Injuries should be outlawed one more swimmers showing up sick at practice and infecting everyone else with their disease one more swingers, those swimmers who wildly swing their arms over the lane when they swim freestyle and you wind up smacking their hands and arms several times per practice Ande Amen Ande! Injuries should be outlawed! I've had way too many setbacks due to them. I know it is because I think I'm still a teenager and can push through the pain like I did back when my body could bounce back! Getting older sucks....you really have to take better care of your "boat" with a kinder, gentler approach. I'm such a sprinter that I'm used to going full steam ahead from the minute my body hits the water. You really have to change your thinking once you get "up" in age. I've hit hands with one of the best swimmers in the world at warm-ups in Arizona. My rant was when we both stopped, she actually growled at me and scowled.....like it was totally my fault! That was one of the only times I've hit hands with anyone. UNBELIEVEABLE. I can't see her and not think about how she acted....not telling....don't even ask!:rolleyes:
