      I have a friend,a backstroker,who in the 100 IM came in for the back to *** turn and turned to his stomach.Realizing his mistake he continued to turn back to his back and as his face came up he exclaimed loud enough for most to hear"OH :censor:" Amazingly he was not DQd and another friend told him"the turn judge was the only one in the building who missed that."

      Last season I did this a few times. If I recall correctly, it was in the 200 Fly, and something like: "Oh :censor:, this is starting to hurt. Oh :censor:!! Here comes That Guy... Oh :censor::censor:!!!! ... there goes That Guy!!" Not to be repeated in the coming fall season...:bolt:

      HS conference championships: Guy on our squad steps up for the 50 free. The starter says, "quiet for the start". The natatorium goes quiet. "Take your mark" Then someone's camera shutter goes "click click click". Our guy rockets off the block and hollers "Oh S..." with the bleeped part obscured by his splash. No false start was charged and the starter read the riot act to the crowd. I forget our guy's place, but I am sure it was top 6, he went a 22-low.
