On Saturday, the girl swimming and diving season concluded in it's usual record-breaking fashion. Central Indiana swimmers represented the area well, with Carmel winning it's 22nd straight state title. Hamilton Southeastern, runner-up to the Greyhounds for the third time in four years, also set state marks.

What I want to talk about today is my wild experience at the Indiana University Natatorium on Saturday.

First, I decided (since my wife was working) that I would bring along my nearly 2-year-old daughter. Since during a routine check-up last week we were told that our little girl would grow to be around 5-foot-10, I felt the urge to ingrain her with ideas of a sports scholarship as quickly as possible. Since volleyball season ended last fall, swimming would be a good bet - after all, she'll be able to reach the wall fairly quickly at 5-10, right?

Well, I didn't expect the combination of sun and chlorine to put an end to our experience. With the sun in her eyes nearly the entire trip downtown from Fishers, she was repeating "Eyesh" (her version of "eyes") the whole way.

I think it may have set a bad tone for what was about to happen. Shortly after entering the Nat, my little princess' stomach decided that the smell of chlorine didn't sit quite right.

You can guess what happened next.

I didn't have a chance to see records fall or Carmel coach Chris Plumb and his team take it's annual plunge into the pool following victory, but I did learn that maybe, just maybe, swimming won't be my daughter's sport of choice.
