today - ordinarily I'd say swimming, but I think that would probably be a disservice to the south africans as i'm pretty certain that no one would confuse what I was doing with what they were doing........
It is a total trip though the dynamic where I'm swimming, because its all segregated - male pool, female pool and family pool - all the young kids get out of school, they cant swim so they arrive at 2pm and hang on to the walls and the lane ropes round the periphery as its 2.5m deep, there's a national squad banging out laps at a blinding pace then there's varying degree's of competence in the remaining lap swimmers - so I think it goes from; cant swim 1m and won't let go of the sides to 90-120 seconds / 50 LCM, to 40-50 seconds / 50 to the national team, I bet D1 teams don't need to put up with it - it is pretty funny though one of the coaches didn't look to amused as a 9 year old attempted to infiltrate his lane system wearing a diving mask.........
you could not make it up
