[quote=Anonymous]I think the oldest record at our pool is 1987 which is only a year or two after the neighborhood was even built.

I was born in the 80s but my swimming career spanned from the early 90s-early 00s. I do remember the old Arena suits on the swim team kids when I was very little. And my first cap was Lycra. I used to wear up to 3 suits to practice for drag, with rips in the suits that I would tie into knots. My first “tech suit” was a paper suit that I borrowed to try to break a league record with my relay.

Speaking of records, my old relays still have multiple records… at least they were there last time I was at that pool a few years ago. I still have (had?) one individual record too. Funny enough it’s in an event I wasn’t even that great at, I just had a summer where I was really good at that race for some reason. I never had the record in my best stroke because a teammate was even faster. We both ended up swimming D1 though I was at a better program than my old teammate/rival because they peaked early while I kept getting faster. It was crazy to swim against them and win in college. My 10 year old self never would have believed that was possible! Everyone thought that person would go to the Olympics but they were burned out by college.[/quote]
