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 unintentionally "sandbagged" my 200 breaststroke at nationals this summer....I did worry that I might have annoyed others but didn't intend to! I don't think sandbagging can be unintentional. By definition, it is a deliberate action or misrepresentation. If you just guess wrong or do better than you expected, you didn't sandbag. Knocking someone else for doing well is not an admirable trait. People that do that ought be pitied, but not worried about.
