  • Hulk, move to Dallas!! We need YOU! Our summer club has 200+ kids. For starters....15 screaming 6 & under girls, 35+ 7-8 yrs, and 55+ whopping 9-10 year old girls...and lots of boys! We don't have enough coaches, either. Great pool, 6 lanes, 3 workouts a day, but with 200+ kids...there is very little dedicated stroke technique/instruction. Our coach who does an amazing job (especially with 400+ parents), a fellow master swimmer, is all about getting help on deck or in any position! Who was that other poster - about the noodler - her sister must live here. Except she's a reader. Always reads a book and walks (hogging up the prime-o deep lanes with the running belt) and glares when you splash her book. My biggest pet peeve is how crowded MY club is after the new year. MY locker is always taken, MY parking space, and MY favorite high pressure shower. (Just kidding). But the thing I really like is how everyone comes to the noon workout over the holidays, yeah!
