Half of the meets had a thunderstorm delay where we'd all have to wait in our cars for an hour as well.
It made them strong swimmers for life though, so it was totally worth it.

I volunteered for a neighbors kids swim meet. I have done hockey evaluations for 15 years of reams of terrible players but nothing holds a candle to the hell that was that swim meet. That smell and boredom and not being able to leave is prison.
