Can someone please tell me what sandbagging is? I heard some people discussing it at my last meet, but didn't know exactly what they were talking about. It didn't sound very flattering though by the tone of their voices. Thanks in advance. :banana:
In a nutshell it means that you "pad" your time. I think that everyone has done that at some point. For example if you swim the 100 free in 1:30 and you enter a time of 1:54 and when you swim the race you do a 1:28 that would be an example of a "sandbagged" time....the reason that people don't like it is that if you actually enter your best time or an honest time and another person doesn't and you end up swimming next to that person it can really be annoying.:(
