you may find it cathartic

Glider that is soooo neat! Monroeville...ah, it warms the heart. I just got back from PIT (annual trip to visit the parents - see also kung pao thread and Allegheny Mountain!).
Greater Pitt was THE team to swim for in your day!! (I'm 40 now, so I think I am about 8 years younger than you?). I swam for JCCS. Gateway High School, WPIAL region VII in PIAA swimming!!! Arguably the 2 worst pools in Western PA, if not the entire state.
Hulk I agree 100% with. You are the man. Have you gotten your volunteer ribbon award yet? You get one for every meet you officiate.
Geek, I understand exactly what you mean - and perhaps our league was more like yours, but the problem is abuse of the system. It got so bad that no one was teaching the kids how to swim - just what to do to win the events - like all the girls would kick free with *** and there were only 2 girls legal in all of all-stars (top 16) who got around 8th, 9th place.
Ok, since this is the swim rant thread - another thing that still makes my blood boil is people who tried to draft off of me when I was pregnant.
