What?! A tri with no carbs? Or were you referring to the noodles at the pool? PB&J the breakfast of champions. I try to stay away from too many processed starches.

Bone up on your mythology, Rich. All sorts of bad things happen to mortals who mess with the divine. I'm not your Icarus!

Alright you guys...put up or shut-up. Holy Spitz! If I can do Bugfly and IM at a meet..you can all attempt the divine...and swim how the Goodhew intended. If you call yourself a swimmer, you can do a little of all the strokes, for Wilkie's sake ! Bone up on your mythology, Rich. All sorts of bad things happen to mortals who mess with the divine.

By the powers vested in me as "you fill in the blank", I hereby officially exonerate you from all responsibility for this relay mishap Donna....As a fellow breaststroke hater, I think I speak for all non-breaststrokers a like when I say this. Clearly the idiot (probably some British breaststroker I'll bet) who put you in the relay swimming breaststroke is the one who deserves all of the blame!

Dana: :rofl: I'm sorry but this seems funny to me. Come up with an acronym for your accident. Sandy the Swim Stud: No, not the coral reef no bathing suit story!!! Some idiot put me in a relay and made me swim breastroke (and I am not one of those, never, ever), and I was doing dolphin kick with it. They stopped me at the wall and handed me a piece of paper and made me get out. And this was at one of my Alma Maters: Santa Clara LC Swim Meet!!! I kept telling them I didn't swim breaststroke, didn't believe me until right then. Dang, big time embarrassment, but the girl that was going to do the fly on our relay was thankful because she said she didn't swim fly either, at least not a hundred meters of it!!! Comedy of errors!!! I think I may be more well known for all of my mistakes than records!!

Noodlers or poodlers are the non-swimmers hanging on the noodles in the pool and getting in the way of people who are actually trying to engage in cardiovascular exercise by swimming. Here's a couple threads: forums.usms.org/showthread.php forums.usms.org/showthread.php

Newmastersswimmer :rofl::rofl::rofl: Obviously, there was no blitz in my breastroke, so I figured dolphin kick would get me there and back faster; got caught!! But our fly swimmer had actually asked me to not finish it cause she wasn't going off the blocks anyway!!!
