Tech-Suits Infecting Summer League Meets

www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../21345.asp I can't believe that people would fathom wearing tech suits at Summer League Meets. As a product of the Delaware County Summer League system, I wouldn't put anything pass these parents. They get catty, jealous, and downright nasty. The kids would too. There are countless times that competitors called me an A***ole without even speaking one word to me. WTH!!!! I commend my local paper for banning tech suits at their annual Elite Meet. Then again, I have worn paper suits at my Summer League Championships and I am now embarrassed to say that I did taper for a Summer League Championships one year when I was 15(and I didn't really care about JOs that year since I moved into the Senior age group). Of course, after I did, other people in my league starting shaving and tapering for my League Champs.
Parents
  • This makes me think of the parents who throw cash, sports cars, tech gadgets, motorcycles, boats, homes, lavish birthdays and weddings, luxury vacations, and jewelry (to name a few) at their children. I'm sorry but when thinking about a tech suit purchase for JR, I have to laugh. The worst are those parents that spend millions on their bratty kids 16th birthday. I was lucky to get cake on my 16th birthday(heck, I don't think that I got that) let alone a lavish party and an appearance by Bow Wow Omarion McCartney Efron Tishdale Cyrus Swift. If you want to buy your kids tech suits, buy them the older models at discount prices. Don't waste 500 bucks on a LZR so little Timmy or Tiffany can win his/her 25 free at Summer League Champs.
