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
As someone who is back in the pool seriously for the last 2 weeks (and actually loving/hating it) I have these.
1) My local water utility for adding even more chlorine to the water BEFORE it gets to the pool.
2) Getting up at 4:30am to swim. Are we NUTS???? :help:
3) Not knowing which lane to swim in (getting there but still clueless)
4) Over zealous swim team coaches who scream that the lane you are in is thier's so you cut the workout short and VOILA it sits unused for over 15 minutes. :censor:
5) Experienced swimmers who set 12x50m free on the minute after telling me I should be in thier lane to swim, um hi my name's Paul and I'm gonna die. :whiteflag:
6) Crappy air quality. Our pool's covered by a pressurized bubble. This morning was rough. :dunno:
7) Forgetting that you are swimming in a yard pool instead of meter and getting to a 4 stroke count - BAM. OUchy. :doh:
8) dealing with the dry skin and frizzed hair that comes with being a pool rat.
9) The speed of an experienced swimmer, the endurance of a dead horse.

I give great 50
