@SwimNerds @anita_2987 My main thought was they go spend an hour watching soccer and get on with their Saturday or Sunday. They can make other plans for the day. While at the pool after an hour or two they may have watched their child swim only once. These swim meets need to be quicker and more fun.

@anita_2987 @AtanasoffMark it takes a few people to run a soccer game - takes dozens to run a swim meet - no comparison of # of volunteer hours needed its ridiculous - easily one of the biggest problems in the sport

The vast majority of age group meets have to be 2 hours or less. This is swimming’s #1 issue.

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’” Michael W Smith

Babe Ruth paid his respects to his former teammate Lou Gehrig at Gehrig's funeral in June of 1941. This month marks the 82nd anniversary of Lou Gehrig's passing at the age of 37 from a disease that is now commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS. Ruth and Gehrig played together for 12 seasons and were part of the legendary 1927 "Murderer's Row" team, which is considered one of the greatest teams of all time due to their offensive prowess. However, Ruth and Gehrig had a complicated relationship. They were initially good friends, but a somewhat bizarre rift began in the early 1930s over a comment made by Gehrig's mother about the dress of Ruth's daughter. This rivalry turned personal and ugly, and the two families, who were once friends, stopped speaking to each other. It was not until "Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day" in 1939 that Ruth and Gehrig fully reconciled. On that day, Gehrig's disease had been made public, and he was rapidly deteriorating. Yankee Stadium honored him before a game on July 4th, where Gehrig delivered one of the most famous speeches in sports history. Afterward, he turned to Ruth, who gave him a big hug (picture 2). Gehrig died 16 years to the day after he replaced first baseman Wally Pipp in the starting lineup for the first time, beginning his legendary consecutive games streak.
