Please share your true swimming stories of remarkable feats, inspiring, interesting or unsual.
Today Sat Jan 22nd, 2010 at the end of my blog I retold a story I heard UT Men's assistant coach tell the mens team this morning.
Please share yours. I look forward to reading them. Let's gather round the fire and be amazed.
Swim Faster Faster,
Ande
Some people were swimming the 200 fly, 400 IM, & 1650 etc. just to take the 10th-16th places to steal points.
Stealing?! with these events, any point is well-earned.
Although, I have seen meets where a swimmer got drafted to dive to scavenge up points and he was clowning around with it. If I were a referee, I'd caution him about a possible DQ for poor sportsmanship.
That little SMU indoor pool can be very exciting. The echos in there just lift the roof off and people just get stoked.
