Wetsuits

I know I have written about my pet hate a few times but
It is raising its ugly head again and I am going to knock it on
It's head again . I am sick of hearing people say to me that
Isn't it great Alby that they have a non wetsuit section .
No it's not I want to hear these idiots say that they have a prize
For all the cheats out there wearing these cheat suits . In auctual
Fact give them nothing because why should you reward a cheat
You may as well give back all those yellow shirts to the king of
Cheats Lance (arrogant ) Armstrong . I am going to get my motorbike
Licence and ride alongside all those cyclists along beach road that piss
Me off when I sm trying to get to work . I hear all the time that
I have to wear one because joe blow will beat me but I smash him in the pool
Well then how do they fell knowing that they had to cheat to beat you .
I know how I woukd feel besides who gives a shit anyway .
Swimming should be natural ability and hard work not going down
To your local shop and spending $1000+ dollars on some stupid suit
Which you would only wears a couple of times a year . I hear people say
I beat my best time by 10 seconds in my last race because of my new
Wetsuit well that's like saying I drove to work ten seconds faster because
I purchased a new sports car . The main reason our club was formed
Was because we want people to be able to swim naturally without the assistance
Of a cheat suit and how many times have people asked me if their friend can
Come and swim with our group but they can only swim with a wetsuit .
I just turn around and walk off because they do not deserve my usual spray .
If you don't like our rules start your own swimming club wear they accept
Cheats . It was great to see all the black ice swimmers attend the cancelled
BBS today with not a wetsuit in sight . Can't wait to go to Rotto again next
Month and swim with thousands of swimmers without wetsuits . How many
Swimmers have won Olympic medals wearing wetsuits but a few years ago
Some guy won the international swimmer of the year but when I googled him
I noticed he only wears wetsuits and he claims all these world records .
 The englush channel committee do not recognise solo swim cheats and so should you .
How many swimmers do you see train in a wetsuit yeh that's right zero but you
Go to one of the many swims around Melbourne and you see them carrying two
Bags to the beach . I stopped going to these events years ago because I have better
Things to do then see all these clowns swimming around in the summer wearing those
Stupid rubber things . I have even heard swimming coaches giving advice on wear to buy
These things , hey what about teaching these guys to swim faster naturally instead
Of taking the pats on your back after one of your pupils wins his or her section because
You are crap coach . And finally I have seen one swimmer  who marks death to wetsuits on his
Back but in most of his swims he wears one .

I would like to fully support Alby's Page comments re wetsuits. It's a great rave and says it all. I gave up the organised swims because I didn't want to associate with all these heroes in their rubber. Could they ever think about how ridiculous they look needing this equipment for a mid-summer swim? What a bunch of babies!
