Swim Rant

Swimming in the rain is something I actually enjoy, but I've yet to see a meet cancelled here in CA from weather. A few years ago at a zone championship meet in Santa Clara, we had ice forming in the buckets that hold down our EZ Ups. Lots of teeth chattering, but the meet went on.

why why why why why would a 50ish bald man train in a swimsuit that could best be described as a g-string? and this wasn't the first time he's done it either the pool was crowded this morning, i had to share a lane with him :afraid: whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Would it have been better if he had hair on his head? :afraid:

I don't like it when the people in the lane next to you pull on the lane rope in the wrong direction so that you have to take up the slack when you pull on it again. I don't like it when the swimmer in front of you does not move over or stop when you overtake them and then the swimmer behind you starts hitting your toes.

I don't like it when teenage boys and middle age men are up my a$$ during breaststroke, yet they won't go in front of me. I'm laughing at myself by trying to put a positive spin on that one. Instead, I should like at it like. . I also don't like people who pull u-turns frequently during sets (once in a while is okay but it's really not necessary to do it to keep up with me!!!)

I hate the coach comparing me to a 19 year old and telling me that she beat me again (I am 47). :whiteflag:

Poor swimmers in the next lane who try to race you as soon as you intend to pass them.

This is what a well-timed kick is for... Good point. Unless if it's ill timed, then it's sort of the birthing process in reverse. Blech.
