Real Sport

In the swimming community we often hear complaints that we're not treated like a "real sport".

I can assure you that your coaches treat swimming like a "real sport".

So do our administrators, our school board, and our taxpayers.

Unfortunately, it's often our participants who treat swimming less so.

On Sunday, I posted instructions on turning in parkas, warm-ups, backpacks, drag suits, & tech suits.

On Monday, I went over those instructions during 8th period athletics.

This morning, five (5) of twelve (12) athletes turned in items.

Of those five (5), only two (2) turned in all items listed.

Was I disappointed?  Yes.

Was I surprised?  No.

Should y'all be surprised with the major changes that are coming?  No.
