I can do a lot of sports decently but...

My sport is swimming. 4 years of swimming. I think my best 50 time was a 26.high and my best 100 time was probably a 1:03 or something. Yeah, my best sport is swimming and I'm not even that great at it. But I can probably outswim 99.5% of 2+2rs and 95% of the population.

I think being able to outswim 95% of the population guarantees that you can outswim 100% of 2+2ers

If you can swim a 50 in 26 seconds you can probably outswim everyone on 2+2 and 99.5% of the population.

Is that in yards or meters? In high school i could swim the 50 in about 22 seconds, and the 100 in 51. This was in yards, but i was also pretty good at swimming /images/graemlins/grin.gif

And oh yea, now i'm 21 and fat /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I wish it was meters, but no, yards. Um...If you're swimming a 22 in HS you should probably have gotten a scholarship to college and or done some serious training and looked at the olympics.

Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure something like sub 26 or around 25 got you to States, and I'm sure a 22 would have taken you to Nationals.

True, but i think I was basing this on the fact that I've sen some posts before where people posted times. You're absolutely right though, I could probably outswim more than that percentage.

I did get scholarship offers, but health problems stopped me from going any further. I was rounding, i never got close to 22.0, best time was probably like 22.5. A time of 25 wouldn't even be close to qualifying for state, but i swam in Florida, one of the most competitive states for swimming, so maybe it is different. I would say you need to break 23 to qualify for states.

Swam a 25 second 50 and a 58 100 in HS and that wasnt even good for Southern California.

Also your assumption about the other poster getting a scholarship is way off. His times would barely qualify in CIF southern section finals when I was in HS and those are damn good times.

Used to be track. Once upon a time I'd have hurdled/sprinted/high jumped/long jumped/discussed anyone here for money.

I was a horrible distance runner. Fastest mile was in the low 4:50s, and my fastest 5k was in the mid 18's. This is why I sprinted and jumped.

~D

EDIT: Yes, that's a mile and not a 1500 or even a 1600M.

Oh, and I forgot to say that if there are 10 guys on this site who could kick my ass I'd be stunned.

It ain't exactly warm here year round, but the Puget Sound Senior Baseball League (http://www.pssbl.com) plays on some top notch fields and take their baseball very seriously. May through September are drought months in western Washington, so rainouts shouldn't be much of a problem. I want to join for a few years so my son can grow up watching and developing a love for the game, then I'll quit to coach him. Baseball rules.

That was great. Mine is volleyball too. We were doing blocking drills at practice one day and I got matched up against our 6'9" middle who got to stand on a jump box across the net and I was supposed to block him. I jumped and pressed across the net, looked up and I saw that he had thrown the ball slightly over the net right before he bounced it off my face. It took me to the endline before I regained my balance. Hmm, this story doesn't make it sound like volleyball is my best sport does it? /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Soccer and racquetball are close but soccer doesn't really count because I'm a goalie.

Yeah, a cool aspect of raquetball is that it can still be entertaining to play people who aren't that good because you can have complete control over the game. You basically can decide when/if/how you want to win.

I went to Notre Dame. CIF SS. We changed leagues and divisions multiple times. We were in the Sunkist and Skyline I think and now are in the De Anza.

Water polo. Haven't played in about a year and a half, though.

Aha! There is another water polo player here. I played in the field and as a hole guard. Yourself?

I'm probably one of the skinniest hole guards to play the game. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif I'm 5'10 and in my playing days couldn't break 155lbs. I still play twice a week on the master's team.

BTW, I suck now.

I wasn't exactly Hans or Franz myself, checking in at 6'3", 180 or so pounds. I played through high school, but I couldn't keep up varsity playing in college because I had way too much work. The coach was allegedly a dick, too. I did love playing in the intramural innertube water polo games we had, though. I got to be a super-champion! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Other than that, I've played in a couple of alumni games when I've gone back to my home town. Suck doesn't begin to describe my current ability.

NCAA Div. 1, SEC. I constantly came in 4th. I was the Salieri of the 110m hurdles.

Sweet. I assume it was a small school since you said D1 instead of a school's name. The only D1 basketball option I ever had was for a school I'd never ever consider going to.

my setter announced "middle" and the other team's setter didn't pay any attention to it. i didn't hit him intentionally, i just hit it down.

EDIT: it's still funny

[/ QUOTE ]

i was a libero, and i thought i was pretty good, but yeah i've taken a few in the face from middles like you /images/graemlins/mad.gif

worst ever though was this time my coach Riley Salmon, who nows plays for the US pictured here (http://www.usavolleyball.org/VolleyballNews/news.asp?id=927), decided to play outside hitter on the other team i was on in practice

he hit a 4, and hit it to me, and me playing libero this was cross court, so you would expect i could avoid a headshot, but he hit the ball so fcuking hard all i had time to do was barely rotate my head so that the ball didn't hit me in the nose

it bounced off my face and then hit the ceiling, and the ceiling wasn't low, this guy is goot

[quoteRaquetball is a great game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it is. Used to play a lot, but now haven't played in years. Not a popular sport where I'm at and I think there's only like 1 place to play.

Ever play 3 wall? I lived in MI as a kid and played and it was always indoor (4 walls and a ceiling). In HS, we moved to FL and I got to play my first 3 wall (no partial ceiling). Much different game.

heh, i was actually a setter in college, and a "defensive specialist" before that (in the days before the libero). i'm only 6'2"...too short to be a real middle /images/graemlins/smile.gif

actually i was a "defensive specialist" too, they only officially had the libero position with the new substitution rules right after i last played, which sucked cause it would have been cool to be that guy with the cool jersey
