[quote=Anonymous]I've seen their posters up at many, many meets and have never seen a single donated item in any of their collection boxes. The cause is a good idea but let's be real - how many teens who have expensive stuff are saying (and I quote): “My parents are able to buy me all this expensive swim equipment, like fins, swimsuits, goggles, caps, and I realized that not everyone has that,” Jay Cole said. “I’ve raced people who don’t have the same level of equipment as a lot of these high level swimmers do.” No competitive athlete is thinking - let's even the playing field. I'm fairly certain he has never - ever - looked at another swimmer in his heat and thought, "wow, his tech suit or goggles or cap (the only equipment ever used during a race) are far beneath mine. Poor kid." [/quote]
