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:

Most people that do it, do it to try and gain an advantage in several events. If I put a slow time in for my 100 Free - I will be in one of the first heats of the 100 Free, then I put a fast time in the next event - say the 200IM, now I have more recuperation time in between events. Some people (myself included) think it is a kind of cheap way to cheat and get an advantage over their competitors.
