Wow....ummm....I would have to say definitely over 100, not quite sure it's over 150, but if it's not them I am getting there quickly!
Now, does this count coaching at the pool and getting thrown in after you win?
wow, fun question.
more than 50 that come to mind, but now I feel like I need to sit down and think about this. there were only 3 pools in Guam, but we travelled to asia for some of our meets....
wow, after thinking about it for awhile, I think competition pools is only 45-55. might have been more if 6yrs of my racing days weren't stuck on an island.
Somewhere around 200-250 would be my guess. I know just from 14 years in summer league that number is close to 90.
Paul....the question is how many you've swam in not how many tiems you got kicked out practice.
I made a list of competition / training pools that I could remember and came up with just under 50. I would have thought more, but most of my club and school swimming seemed to be in the same 15 or so pools.
Just as a rough guess I'd say about 25 in USS meets, maybe 15 additional for high school, 15 in college and maybe another 15 in masters. So about 70 total. These are just ones I've done a meet in. If you count pools I trained it the list is much longer.
