Weirdest Swim Meet Evaaaaah! kind of surreal. It was a gimme, so all the girls were swimming their worst events. (50 Free and 100 back for swimmer Girl).
But shortly after warm-up started, SG walked by and indicated that she was going to change into a "competition suit". (A "magic Suit"). These are reserved for Championships. They retail around $400 and last 8 meets. She said "see you in 45 minutes". She made it out in about 35, just in time for the start of the meet. Yup, they take that long to get into.
So one other swimmer comes out in one.
As the meet goes on, girls disappear -including a couple from the other team- and come back wearing these suits.
To the point where we were hoping for a flashmob thing......
nah, it was just coach's other half doing technical trials for Nike's new suit. (He developed the first one for Speedo -the one the olympians wear- but left last year after a row over that suit's replacement (he was right, it turned out...) )
