I live in fear of someone finding a way to intercept the signal from the motorcycle radios we use. I’m sure it would not be hard. Especially true with certain partners . . . .

I remember back in like 2015 my older son started playing water polo at 14. I knew nothing about the sport at the time and mostly stayed quiet as I tried to figure out what was happening. But there were a couple of parents that would yell “SWIIIIIIM!!!” over and over.

Our coach decided to have a parents night, where any parents brave enough could get in the pool and go through a water polo practice.

Never heard a parent yell “swim” again after that. Lol

Reminds me of George Costanza opposites….

If every parent just said the opposite of what they were saying, it would be comedy gold.

“great call!”

“Don’t move. Drown!”

“The goalie is exactly where they are supposed to be”

“Stay on offense, let the other team score!”
