Well this is the best kind of blog - THE UNEXPECTED BLOG
8 mighty Redfins turned up for the swim in the Coogee Jetty to Jetty Swim. The sun was shining, the water was lovely and there were no stingers !
Damo, Mark D, Nadine, GP, Barb, Hils, Tara and Simon all donned a cap for a good cause. Unfortunately Shane was a no show as after his last effort in this swim, a GRUELLING 750m swim he has retired with the title. Some swam the 1500m and some swam the 750m. It did not matter. Everyone had a go and i think they were pleasantly suprised with their efforts !
One thing that sent a wave of suspicion through the team was during the pre-race briefing when the assembled swimmers were told that fins were not allowed to be worn during the swim.
This prompted intense speculation that a certain ex-president had tried to persuade MSWA that everyone should wear fins....i am happy to report that even though there is the allegation of bribery, that nothing was uncovered during the investigation, swiftly conducted by your correspondant.

As a regular monitor of this fine journal, I have noticed that a pattern is emerging... Certain members of the Riverton Masters swimming community appear to take great delight in running down the importance of fins... Swim fins have traditionally been the making of great champions of the training pool and I look forward to seeing how this negative attitude towards fins impacts on future results... Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteCouldnt agree more- the more fins used the better.
