This is not a blog that will have the same impact as our blog about the great outdoors.
As I mentioned in our blog about the great outdoors, we have our very own swimming championship, the maac swim team. I’ve been involved with it since its inception and I am proud to say that I am the coach of the team. It is a competitive sport that includes about two dozen events, the biggest of which is the maac swim championships. I’ve spent hours watching the competition and I have to say the event is very tough.
The maac swim championships are the oldest swim team competition in the world, and they have been held for over 150 years. The competition is held in the summer (i.e. summer Olympics), and we typically begin the year with practice on the beach. The tournament is in a beautiful ocean, and it’s not uncommon to see whales breaching the water. The team is made up exclusively of young men who have been picked from a pool of about 100 teenagers and young adults.
The maac swim team consists of mostly young men. In fact, we’ve seen no women in the team in the past few years. Most of the swimmers, regardless of age, are either male or female. As the youngest team member, I was the only female, and I am glad I was able to compete. It is a very tough event, and we had a lot of trouble with our team.
