Edmo Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Track and swimming are the hardest. So much sitting around and waiting for your kids turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids everywhere and you watching everyone else's "pot licker" all day to see your child do their thing for a few minutes. I became suicidal! Even more than normal! It get's better as they get older though. GOOD LUCK TO YOURS THOUGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew....that's a tough one to sell. Hard to fight back that initial smile and instinct to wanna "high five". But....think of Hillary and "power through it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If is Its just one day of swimming that is easy!!!! Plus 400 kids=around 400 moms or so!!! Even if 10% of them are worth a fuck that means you have 40 women you can eye fuck the shit out of all day.

Skidude600 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Enjoy it now while you still can. As inconvenient as it may seem, it will be over before you know it. My youngest has been playing football for the last 10 yrs and will have the final game of his "career" next Friday. I'm pretty sure there will be a few tears shed by both of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 It was fine ...long day but she had fun. She's still a little young at 8 but developing fundamentals early will pay off if she decides to stick with it. Her backstroke is very good for her age but everything else not so much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made it to level 3 lifeguard until an operation put the brakes on that . I miss swimming bad swimming was and is what I'm best at. I thrive in the water and I think I could have been a very competitive swimmer....but I went to a small school in an area where swimming is not very prevalent. We had no pool and there were no programs like they have down here. I was shocked at the number of kids that were at the Y today. I think my daughter will be good if she decides to be and I'll see to it that I suffer through whatever she wants me to with a smile on my face 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
