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:

I just had to tell it and hoped I did not come out sounding bombastic.
Cheers
hehe pride cometh before a fall.
If I've sandbagged it's been due to lack of knowledge on my race times..I was shocked when I raced my first race. I feltlike an ass after because I bet there were folks looking at me out in the lead of that heat thinking that I was some sort of jerk...
I don't look around pre race...never thought to. I say "good race" to the guy/gal clambering out (who normally don't say thanks or acknowledge it) then it's just up to me and the pool. I don't care what lane I'm in or who else is around. No sheet is going to help me. It's not the way I tick.
If I worry about your time and beating it I'll mess up my own game.
