Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.

I don't care about swimming with the guys any more than I mind swimming with the girls of various ages.
What I do not like is the sandbagging of times by swimmers to very selfishly provide themselves with calm water.
THAT practice is what creates havoc with turbulence in all the wrong places during a race.
And does not serve the concept of racing to bring out a faster swim.
There was some serious sandbagging going on in the 200 free at the Warrenton meet. I didn't swim it, but I was watching and some of the times were like 15 seconds off the seed times.
