Great thread. Mr Threw up in the Gutter Guy Gamely tried to do Saturday morning practice hung over. Sunny Delight and Pop-Tarts look pretty on the deck Mr White Speedo Guy Mr Nervous on the Blocks Guy Yellow trickle running down the leg before the race OK, usually these are little age group swimmers - not beer drinkers Mr New Masters Coach Guy Assigns a 5 x 500 free on 6 minute set to his middle-aged USMS women Is on his cellphone during most of the practice lining up his weekend Mr Janitor Guy Most valuable person on the team. Shows up every day at 5:15 am to unlock the pool. Mr Pool Maintenance Guy Keeps the pool chemicals in balance. Water in the pool and temperatures right. Sweeps the crud off the bottom. Or not. Mr Not Sure about Speedos Guy Wears voluminous jammer shorts with pockets Mr Blew Out The Speedo Guy Doesn't realize when he gets out that his favorite lucky Speedo, "Old See-Thru", finally failed on the backside Mr Swim Dad Guy * Caffeine dopes their 8-year-old before meets * Marches up to the officials to verify times for the swimmer that just beat their kid * Run up and down the deck yelling at their kid to kick harder during the mile * Tells the kid to ignore what the coach said about technique, just move their arms faster and kick harder * Argue with the coach that their 8-year-old needs to do 2-a-days * Fudges entry times to get a kid into a meet they aren't eligible to swim * Will buy his 10-year-old "B/C" swimmer a $300 technical swimsuit but won't participate in the team fundraiser or pay training fees on time. * Feeds their swimmer ballpark nachos or chili dogs right before his event Mr I Have A Cramp Pansy Guy Conveniently comes up with a cramp whenever he doesn't want to finish a set Mr Magic Cape Swimmer Guy Never comes to practice, has a horrible diet, drinks like a fish, stays up all night, and yet when he stands on the blocks he unleashes a superhuman swim.
