Irony or Torture?
The Swim Aids have been all over the place attending and covering meets the past few years. We were so on top of the game!
Judging from our past swim trips, it would be reasonable to think that once the Olympic year got here, things would be even crazier, right? Well, that’s what we thought too, but we were wrong!
Then something tragic happened. We faced the reality that The Swim Aids are broke as a joke right lately. It’s gut-wrenching, really. First we had to bail on Short Course Nationals in Hotlanta. Then we had to pull out of the Long Beach Grand Prix. (Well, not 100%. Kiwi got to see one session of that. Better than nothing!) And now, because of the same reasons, we regret to inform that we will not be at this weekend’s Missouri Grand Prix.
What we really need is a travelling allowance. That, or a sugar daddy of some sort. We’d take either! Since neither option appears to be in our immediate future, we have had to cut back significantly on our swim trips. It saddens us too.
But don’t fret! We see the light at the end of the tunnel! And I know you’ve heard this before, but we do have at least 2 meets lined up before Trials. See, things are looking better already!
Because the Ohio State Grand Prix is in C-Bus (where I live), we will definitely be in the house. And then Santa Clara is another definite destination. The yearly Cali trip is like a tradition, at this point. Also, the Women’s NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships are also here in C-Bus, so I may go to that as well. I told y’all McCorkle was where it’s at!
So, there is swimming on the horizon. Never fear, Swim Aid followers!
And last, but certainly not least, we’d like to extend a sincere thank you to those of you who have started and continu to check out our fun side project, MGoSwim. And for those of you, who haven’t, that is why there is next to no Club Wolverine chatter over here anymore. It now resides on MGoSwim. To see the latest posts, check out the far right sidebar. We make it really easy for you!

It does make me sad that I couldn’t make it to Mizzou… We need to step our game up!!
It makes me so sad that we’re “meet deprived.” WHEN WILL THIS PAIN STOP?!?!?!
For you, Carrie, it won’t end until Trials. You may need to go to rehab. Just sayin’.
it pains me that we are missing this. im seriously feel like im not going to anything until santa clara. insanity.
well, maybe since you guys can’t go to Missou you can plan on coming to Austin in march for Short Course =)…or whatever the hell they are calling it now. The day after apparantly they are having a charity event that the Longhorn pros organized. should be a good time!

Well, the rehab will NOT be in SD, that’s for damn sure!
If I go anywhere, in March, (and a trip is very doubtful right now) then I’m going to Vegas for Erika’s 21st bday! That should be on your radar too, Jenny!
ohhh I remember erika saying something about that back in Indy. that would be rad.
we should all just go crazy in debt and go to everything =)
Ah, but see, one has to have the means to use credit in order to go into debt, right? That counts me out lol
I wish I could go back to Austin fo that, though. Always had a great time there!
See you are smart. I say I NEED a credit card…for emergencies and to establish a good line of credit maybe, but if you aren’t careful cute purses and kickass sunglasses could become categorized as an emergency.
Austin misses you!
