This week we have photos from last week's trip to US Senior Nationals in Columbus, Ohio.
The trip started with an 8-hour delay for weather at La Guardia airport in NY. The swimmers "weathered" the storm just fine and went on to have a very successful meet.

You guys don`t have an idea of how lucky you are having all those beautiful swimming facilities and such a great swimming organization. |
|
|
Sure we do. ;) |
|
|
Are you sure??????????? |

OK... I'll try not to get too annoyed, but read above. Shouldn't "Sure we do" suffice that I am sure we're very fortunate to have many nice facilities in the United States? Now, if you want to read into everything, I'll give you some more insight. You used the word "lucky" in your post, and I'll go back to my standard saying... luck has nothing to do with it. Every pool that's been built in the US has been built with the blood, sweat, and tears of either the people with a passion to build that particular pool, or from the tax payers and/or students and alumni of the university that built said pool. These pools didn't just luckily sprout up, many people worked long and hard to make it happen. Our country has made a long term commitment to the sport of swimming, and while I'm very fortunate to have traveled the world and seen great, and modest facilities on every continent (except the Arctics), there are people all over the world who have made similar commitments. If you're not happy with the facilities you swim in, make something happen. Now... does that satisfy your original question or do I need to elaborate more? |

Haha, in Ukraine, the best Olympic pool has been converted into the parking lot for football stadium. But that did not help our football either. |
