Just a Friendly Note from the Swim Aids

Posted April 5, 2008 at 9:01 pm by Suz in Because We Said So!, Keepin' It Real

Hi there, you swim fan you.

Glad to have you here. We’ve been around almost 2 years now having fun whenever and wherever we can all in the name of swimming.

If you’re one of the newer visitors, we feel we need to let you in on some info. Especially if you’re one of the visitors that has trouble reading…

This is not a news affiliate. We are not Swimming World Magazine; although we do subscribe ;). This is a goofy blog for a group of us swim fans who met through the sport. It’s a beautiful thing, really. This great sport we all love brought us all together and we have friendships for life.

If you’re looking for up-to-the-minute news and feature stories, you’re on the wrong website. Since 2004, I have worked my butt off on SwimStars.org covering a group of US swimmers in-depth and travelling to meets, on my own dime, to give them more promotion. Recognition that they deserve. I don’t make a cent off of that website and I’ve poured thousands into it. I don’t care. If given the choice to do it all again, I would. I do it for the love of the sport and respect and admiration of the athletes I cover. You can also try Swimming World Magazine for some good stuff on the entire sport. Some of their staff visits regularly, as do people from USA Swimming, SwimNetwork, and the swimmers we all know and love.

Found on this blog are random thoughts that we as swim fans have about the sport and its stars. We don’t do livejournal or xanga’s, so we post on our own blog. And if you don’t like something on here, we really don’t care. Keep it to yourself. We’re not breaking any rules or confidences. The relationship with the sport’s governing body, other media outlets, and most importantly the athletes, is something we cherish and we would never put that in jeopardy.

So if you’re here after drinking some hater-aid, you shouldn’t even waste your time. Just click that magical ‘x’ up in the right-hand corner. We run this and what we say goes. There is no freedom of speech here unless you’re a Swim Aid. Sorry. So, go ahead and treat yourself to a nice, tall glass of STFU and find something else to do.

HOLLA!

      Mmmmmm STFU! Get used to it BITCHES!!!

      I don’t even know why I bothered trying not to be a bitch. It literally makes my world go round.

      I like to think that being a bitch and keepin’ it real are very closely related.

      Erika, I really don’t know how I would react if you stopped. You are the one that keeps me in line and tells me what’s up!!!

      So anyways, word to the wise: possibly check around the site, read some (maybe ALL?) the past articles, THEN write your comment. You may learn something about the people AND/OR the site.

      That’s what I do! ;)
