Pointless Things on the Gunn Swim Team 2.0 (updated whenever needed)

1 Team warm down
2 Push ups on last race
3 The binder full of thousands of papers you have to print just so you can know "swimming strategies"
4 Saturday morning practice
5 Saturday morning practice at 8:30AM
6 Swimming after practice is over
7 Attending every practice is mandatory
8 Waiting outside the pool in a huge line to dive when you could wait in the water
9 One paper in the binder-"on vacations you should find a pool and do your favorite sets!"
10 A goal sheet with your academic and swimming goals. Includes an inspiring quote and an inspiring song
11 Finishing a set after practice has ended, get a ten minute talk, then do another set, a 100 easy, then another talk
12 During meets, snack can only be eaten after the meet has ended. People were starving through the meet and now its dinner time
13 30 talks on thursdays and fridays about the same exact thing each week (okay whens wake up swim? 6:50. Whens the meet start? 2:05...)
14 Friday morning practice at 6:15
15 Swimathon(!!!) We swim a lot (like always) for a week while collecting money from neighbors and friends. Everyone is expected to have $200.
16 Swimming nothing at meets but still having to warm up and down
17 You have to know the score of the meet at all times
18 the position of locker rooms. girls have a door right next to the pool that is always open. boys has two on the other side of the building that are sometimes closed. If one is closed you have to walk even farther to the other one, freezing and wet. when they are both closed you have to go back and get the keys from the coach (which takes them 10 minutes)
19 During all talks they keep us in the water. We have stopped moving and are now shivering. Why cant they see our pain and talk to us while we are changing and drying off?!?!?
20 our sweatshirt says swimming and diving. I am not a diver.
