Senior Year at YMCA State I thought I had the sport of swimming pretty well mastered, and wasn't worried about any little things like false starts and missed turns. After 7 years of swimming meets at the Schroeder YMCA pool, I
felt relatively comfortable on their blocks (which happen to cover less than a square foot, 30" above the water). I was pumped for the 200 Breast, and was seeded to win because a teammate from last year, the defending champion, was already in college and no longer a threat.
However, I was doomed from the moment I set foot on the blocks. Before the starter could even mouth the famous statement "take your mark," my nose was a few inches away from the T on the bottom of the pool. My balance had betrayed me and my body gave me no warning of my early
immersion, but fortunately the starter noticed and gave me a second chance. Moral of the story: don't become complacent - you'll end up looking like an idiot.
